Kids in the Rotunda welcomes back two incredible kids’ musicians as they join together again for a special, fun and interactive music concert. Brooklyn kids’ musician Suzi Shelton and Chicago's Little Miss Ann are nationally touring artists who have made several award-winning albums. Both Suzi and Ann have songs regularly played on Sirius XM Kids Place Live, including Suzi's song "Raindrop" and Ann's song "Ube."

Suzi Shelton has been recognized as a voice in independent family music for more than a decade and as a leading figure in the NYC children's music scene. She has four solo albums under her belt and a popular livestream show called “Sing with Suzi,” featuring special guests from around the globe.

Little Miss Ann (Ann Torralba) has released seven kids music albums, including "Welcome Spring" released through 8 Pound Gorilla Records. She is also a former Chicago Public School teacher, instructor at Chicago's historic Old Town School of Folk Music and a first-generation Filipina American.

For this special concert, Suzi and Ann will sing wonderful harmonies together and play ukulele, guitar and drum beats that will surely inspire kids and families to sing, clap, jump and dance along!

The 1pm performance will be American Sign Language interpreted. Please call 608.258.4447 if you need to be seated within sight of the interpreter.

Enjoy a diverse lineup of local, regional and national performers selected exclusively for children ages nine and younger and their families.
