The BPO Exceptional Holiday Concerts are developed specifically to enhance the BPO experience for audience members facing disabilities. Concerts are performed in the Mary Seaton Room at Kleinhans Music Hall, to accommodate the flexible seating needed for wheelchairs and floor seating for the youngest audience members. The program itself is very visual and interactive and the BPO musicians and staff welcome the audience to react to the music in any way they feel comfortable.
