Inspiration!

Orchestral music is a wonderful way to ignite the imagination of third, fourth, and fifth graders! This concert is centered around the theme of “Inspiration.” Do your students love nature? Art? Books? Travel? Superhe­roes? Composers are inspired by those things too! In this concert, students will hear music by a broad range of composers and explore the inspirations that fueled their musical masterpieces! The pro­gram includes well-known classi­cal compositions, contemporary pieces, and a film score, with works by Mussorgsky, Adolphus Hailstork, Anna Clyne, John Williams, and more!


The Orchestra is committed to deepening and expanding our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at every level of our work, to become an organization that better reflects the community it serves. Our Education programs reflect this focus, with repertoire drawn from many countries and cultures that celebrates the artistry of composers and musicians who represent diversity in all its forms.


All concerts will be offered free of charge to students and teachers, and bus subsidies will be available to defray transportation costs for Title 1 schools.
