The concert will feature songs from Appetite for Construction, nominated for the 2015 Grammy for Best Children’s Album.
Tickets are $18 per adult; $13 per child; $15 adult Jewish Museum family level member; and $11 child Jewish Museum family level member. Adults are asked to accompany their children.

Chosen by Red Tricycle and Time Out New York as one of the top kids’ bands in the nation, spotlighted in The Wall Street Journal, and described as “Radiohead-meets-the-Beatles for kids” (National Parenting Publications), The Pop Ups recently made their national television debut on Sprout’s Sunny Side Up Show. Based in Brooklyn, NY, Jason Rabinowitz and Jacob Stein have been creative collaborators since their 2010 release Outside Voices. Their PASTA: A Pop Ups Puppet Musical enjoyed successful runs in New York City and Los Angeles, and in 2012, they released Radio Jungle, which launched their careers as nationally touring artists and yielded their first Grammy Award nomination.
The Edgar M. Bronfman Center for Education’s school and family programs are supported by endowed funds established by the Bronfman Family, the Muriel and William Rand Fund, the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, the Helena Rubinstein Foundation, Rosalie Klein Adolf, the Kekst Family, and Mrs. Ida C. Schwartz in memory of Mr. Bernard S. Schwartz. Family programming is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
