The Orchestra Moves

Through the power of melody and storytelling, this program explores how composers and musicians use musical expression to connect and communicate with audiences.

Expect a vibrant, interactive concert filled with orchestral music, movement, and active participation from the audience.

“Link Up introduces students in grade 3-5 to the orchestra through an interactive curriculum in which they learn to sing and play an instrument in the classroom before performing with a professional orchestra.”
