NSO Music for Young Audiences: Super Cello!


  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Family Theater 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Performances: Oct 18 & 19, various hours

The city is safe with the help of a unique cellist: professional musician by day, superhero by night. The day begins as usual—from waking up in the morning, to traveling to rehearsal, to getting ready for a concert… but things take a turn when robots and aliens try to take over the music hall. It’s up to Super Cello to use the soothing power of music to save the day!

Originally a co-production with the National Symphony Orchestra and Teller Productions that premiered in April 2022, Super Cello! unites puppet artist Scottie Rowell and NSO cellist David Teie to tell a wordless story using puppets, props, and plenty of original music.

Most enjoyed by ages 5+
