Young People's: Watch the Orchestra Grow


*The event has already taken place on this date: Wed, 02/01/2017
Where did orchestras come from? What happened as ensembles grew from a handful of string players to today’s powerful body of musicians?

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Students will find the answers in this concert—both aurally and visually—as one or two musicians at a time come onstage and reveal how their instruments became key parts of the whole. Discover which changes came with “Papa” Haydn, the “father of the symphony orchestra”; Mozart, who championed the clarinet; and Beethoven, Wagner and Britten, each of whom advanced the orchestra and symphonic music in unique ways.

homeschool workshop will be available for this performance. Registration begins in late summer 2016. Curriculum materials will be available 6-8 weeks before the performance.
