2007-2008 SCHOOL PROGRAMMING

Young People’s Concerts (FIELD TRIPS)

The Symphony’s Young People’s Concerts open young people’s minds and hearts to the world of classical music through interactive concerts by a professional symphony orchestra. Four levels of concerts target the learning and developmental needs of different age groups: PreK-2; grades 3-5; grades 6-8; and high school. To make the most of the concert experience, the Symphony offers professionally produced downloadable study and/or activity guides, music CDs and DVDs for students in grades 8 and below. These exceptional guides help you make curriculum connections between classical music and other academic disciplines; they also prepare students for the performance and extend the experience when they return to the classroom.

Symphony Street Concerts
How many musicians are in an orchestra? How many instruments? How do you decide who sits where? This season’s Symphony Street concerts—Adventures with the Orchestra, featuring Tubby the Tuba—answer questions younger students have when they experience the majesty and inner-workings of a professional orchestra.Hosted by the dynamic Jere Flint (Staff Conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra), Symphony Street performances engage children with a lively mix of words, song, dance and music of all genres. Featured performers include: Wendy Bennett, co-host and vocalist; Katrina Roelle and Scott Palma, dancers; and Lee Harper, choreographer.
