Education Concert: Orchestra in Orbit

Program

Explore the sun, the moon, the stars, and beyond through music that has us looking skyward! We will travel from our home on Earth to the vast expanse of outer space while also learning about the instrument families of the orchestra.

These light-hearted one-hour school-day programs are designed to educate and inspire students. Concerts are shaped with themes presented in the classroom, and an accompanying guide is provided to all registered schools. We welcome educators and students from public, separate, private, charter, and home schools.

A limited number of subsidies are available. These subsidies are made possible thanks to the generous support of our donors.
