Each season we present several educational concerts for district public and private schools and home school families, providing students with fun and educational live orchestral music experiences.
These concerts are created using excerpts from our regular season programming with added descriptive narrative and audience participation. Performances are presented in Sagebrush Theatre, giving many students their first introduction to a public concert venue. Participating classroom teachers receive a study guide containing links to samples of the music to be performed, a list of suggested activities to use in preparation for the performance, and opportunities to share their projects with other students.
Tickets for these performances are just $5 per student. There is no charge for an adequate number of teacher and parent supervisors. Contact us for more information.
