Discovery Concerts

A unique way to experience orchestra designed for students in grades 3 to 6

Presented by:

The 2021 Discovery Concerts may be virtual this year, but we are excited to present "The Building Blocks of Music," a video for classroom or home education that demonstrates the similarities between creative building and how music comes together. We look forward to being together for a live performance at the next opportunity, but for now, please enjoy the video, the teacher packet, and other resources.
