 Designed with young children in mind, these concerts introduce listeners to the orchestra and the instruments that comprise it.
With the emphasis on “fun” this concert is performed by a chambersized orchestra from the Atlanta Symphony and is hosted by various community venues to provide less travel time for our youngest audience members.
Musical selections are drawn from core orchestral repertoire and are short enough to match young attention spans. Performers lead the audience through a colorful symphonic adventure filled with singing, dancing, and beautiful music.
Each child receives an activity guide to reinforce the educational concepts introduced. Teachers receive online access to samples of music from the upcoming concert as well as a student activity booklet and various teacher resource materials correlated to the Georgia Performance Standards and the National Standards for Arts Education.
