9:30 & 11 am
Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
Norman Huynh, conductor
This program will capture the imaginations of our school-aged audiences, as we present music written to tell stories through orchestral music. How did John Williams capture the adventures of “Peter Pan” through his music? Students will learn how composers tell a story through melody, rhythm, dynamics, and orchestration
The program will include:
Coleridge-Taylor: Danse nègre from African Suite
Mason Bates: The B-Sides: Warehouse Medicine
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6, fourth movement (“The Storm”)
Ravel: Mother Goose Suite
Jessie Montgomery: Starburst
John Williams: Flight to Neverland from Hook
A complimentary teacher’s guide will be available in December. You can also request a trained volunteer to visit your class and preview the concert – see the order form for details.
For more information, contact Monica Hayes, education & community programs director.
This concert will also be performed in Salem on Monday, April 29 at 10 and 11:30 am. To reserve tickets, call the Salem Ticket Office at 503-264-0149. Learn More
