Concert Title:  Composing a Story

Description:  Through the incredible pieces of musical storytellers like Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Bizet and Elgar, we are going to find out how composers create their masterpieces. A piece of music begins like a story with the setting. A composer must choose a tempo, key signature and dynamics that will create a mood for their music. Most pieces of orchestral music have two contrasting themes or melodies, just like two contrasting characters in a story (usually a hero and a villain). Just like any good story, a good piece of music will allow you to sometimes know what’s coming next, and at other times, completely surprise you! And finally, musical stories can have all different types of endings, from soft and mysterious to bombastic or triumphant. 

Cost:  $2.50 all ages, including infants.  

Limit:  There are 125 tickets available for the concert. 

Adult limit:  Each family group is limited to TWO adults. 

Ages:  Curriculum is designed for grades 3-6.  However!!!  All ages are welcome.  Don’t miss out!  These concerts are always AMAZING.  Younger students and students through high school are welcome.  Obviously, if you have very young children, you will need to exit the concert hall should they become disruptive.  Thank you for being considerate of others.
