Musical Discoveries
Recommended for grades 1 – 3
The Musical Discoveries program is designed for our youngest school audiences, in grades 1 – 3. Here, they will experience a magical world of music and story enhanced by spell-binding artists and some surprises along the way. A comprehensive, Orff-focused, curriculum-based study guide is provided to teachers to prepare and deepen their students’ experience in anticipation of this highly engaging symphonic introduction.
Students will discover a magical world of the orchestra and orchestral music through story enhanced by visual art and guest performers.
Charlotte & the Music Maker
A passion for music leads Charlotte into a raging blizzard and a magical musical journey of discovery.
Lost in a blizzard, Charlotte finds herself whisked on a journey through the Magical Monarchy of Musical Magnificence, exploring the sounds and colours of the orchestra and leading her to an unexpected discovery, not only about music, but about herself. The concert features enchanting illustrations by Graham Ross and a stunning original score by Alain Trudel, with selections from Handel, Grieg, and upbeat arrangements of well-known popular tunes.
