Wilmington Concert Opera strives to serve the greater Wilmington, Delaware community by prioritizing the hiring of local musicians to provide high-level performance opportunities. The free performances in West Center City, adjacent to the economically-disadvantaged Arts District, provide opportunities for the community to experience a family-friendly version of a traditionally expensive art form.

Sunday’s matinee performance features themed craft activities at 2:00 PM for one and all, followed by a sensory friendly performance at 3:00 PM, with snacks, fidgets, and break space provided for all ages.
