Pre-show activity
Peppa Pig “My First Concert” ticketholders are invited to a free pre-show family activity from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Eisenhower Auditorium Conference Room. Participants will be able to visit various creative stations featuring fun activities and get their “passports” stamped before curtain goes up. The activity is held in partnership with the Penn State Music Service Club, Schlow Centre Region Library and the center’s arts engagement assistants.
Orchestra will perform classical music, theme songs from TV show
In Peppa Pig “My First Concert,” families will see Peppa Pig, along with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, George and baby sister Evie, learn all about the different sounds that instruments make together. Family audiences will enjoy some of their favorite music from the show played by a live orchestra, and they will learn some other exciting orchestral pieces perfect for children. Plus, some little ones will be invited to join Peppa and her family to make music of their own.
The concert includes orchestral renditions of popular songs from the animated TV series, such as “The Peppa Pig Theme” and “The Bing Bong Song,” along with a selection from “The Nutcracker,” and other classical works by composers such as Beethoven and Mozart.
While 2026 marks the first time the concert will make its way across North America, it has played to sold-out houses across Europe winning rave reviews, from audiences of all ages, along the way.
“Peppa Pig” is a British preschool animated TV series that has been airing for 20 years across 10 seasons in over 180 territories. The series follows Peppa Pig, a cheeky little piggy who lives with her family — younger brother George, baby sister Evie, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig — as well as her diverse community of friends. As a lifelong friend, Peppa Pig encourages kids to jump in together and explore the world around them, while helping give kids the confidence to treat every first step as a new adventure, from the everyday to the epic.
