In this interactive orchestra concert, students explore the instruments of the orchestra through Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. As the music unfolds, students discover each instrument family—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion—through engaging narration, instrument demonstrations, and opportunities to participate by creating artwork inspired by the music. One student from each school is also invited to sit on stage during the performance for an unforgettable, up-close orchestral experience.

Artwork Needed
ATTENTION TEACHERS! We are looking to collaborate with you and your students for artwork to help tell the story of the music as the symphony plays the music. Some of the artwork will be chosen for a slideshow on stage. If you and your students choose to participate, you will be given a particular scene and asked to create art based around that event. Contact the ASO office for more details. We hope to collaborate with you on this wonderful opportunity to display your students' beautiful work!
