’Toon tunes

CLASSICAL NEW ENGLAND CARTOON FESTIVAL Cartoons are a great way to expose the kids to classical music. Remember Elmer Fudd singing “Kill the Wabbit” to the tune of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”? A giant screen will show Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons set to classical music; the kids visit an instrument petting zoo, and hear live music; PBS-costumed characters include Curious George and Arthur. Oct. 27 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. $15, $35 (family 4-pack), free under 6. Symphony Hall,301 Massachusetts Ave., Boston. 617-300-5400. www.wgbh.org/cartoonfest June Wulff
