Young children and their families are invited to an introduction to the orchestra through story, movement and live music. Teddy bears welcome! Space is limited.
The Big Note is the story of a young boy’s search through a symphony orchestra to find a big note he hears at a concert. The Big Note introduces the flute, violin, viola, bassoon, and tuba. These five instruments are part of the string, woodwind, and brass sections of the symphony orchestra. Musical selections include excerpts from Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee, Rossini’s William Tell Overture, Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 – Ode to Joy.
This concert is presented by the Colts.

The Broad Ripple community has enjoyed library service at various sites since 1930. The first stand-alone library opened in 1949 adjacent to School No. 80 and continued at that location until a larger branch opened in Broad Ripple Park in 1986. Facing a need for continued growth, the Glendale Branch was constructed in 2000 in Glendale Mall and became the country’s first full-service library located in a major shopping mall.
In 2024, a new 24,800 square-foot Branch located at the site of the former John Strange Elementary School opened. The move into this new space began the next chapter of service to the vibrant Glendale community.
