About The Lion and the Mouse – Music for the Very Young

Music for the Very Young is an Atlanta-rooted concert series purpose-built for babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children — and the parents and caregivers who adore them. These performances are not standard children's shows. They are thoughtfully crafted, professionally performed musical experiences that introduce the youngest audiences to the joy, rhythm, and emotion of live music in a welcoming, age-appropriate environment.

The Lion and the Mouse draws on one of the most timeless fables ever told — the Aesop classic about an unlikely friendship between a mighty lion and a small, resourceful mouse. Through live music, engaging storytelling, and sensory-friendly performance elements, this concert transforms a familiar story into a full theatrical and musical journey. The production speaks directly to the developmental curiosity of very young children, using melody, movement, and narrative to spark imagination and a lifelong love of the arts.

For Atlanta families, Music for the Very Young concerts are a standout tradition. Parents who attended as children are now bringing their own kids, and that generational connection speaks to the enduring quality of this programming. The Lion and the Mouse at Woodruff Arts Center is not just a Sunday outing — it is a first concert memory in the making.
