The UCF Concert Band’s “Out of This World” concert offers an inclusive, sensory-friendly experience for all, including the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and neurodivergent communities. Lasts 50 minutes, no intermission.

This is a young person’s concert to provide a safe and welcoming place for people who are looking for ways to access live music that may not normally be able to do so. We will offer support for members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities, persons on the autism spectrum, persons with cognitive disabilities, family members, as well as the Central Florida Community at large. The University of Central Florida Concert Band will provide an entertaining program taking the audience into outer space, as music education students serve as guides to the musical experience. The musicians and staff understand that people may need to get up, move about, or leave during the performance. Balloons, visual representations, and opportunities to move will be provided to support the enjoyment of music. Patrons are encouraged to bring hearing protection, fidget toys, manipulatives, cushions, and support objects to the concert. This program is open to any and all members of the community to experience and enjoy.
