Hudson Valley Philharmonic
Young People's Concert

GRADES 3-6 (RUNNING TIME 1 HOUR)

Snow date - Thursday  March 24 @ 10AM & 11:45

Believe in Yourself : A musical exploration about overcoming obstacles.

Our goal is to enrich the lives of children by exposing them to beautiful music. The interactive concert and hands on residency activities will engage your students through creative exploration and active musical participation. Developing your students’ natural musical competence will assist them in becoming successful hearers, and awaken their interest in the many ways music plays out in school learning and life.

The Young People’s Concerts are interactive and use a theme to introduce students to serious classical music. Hosted by two professional actors, they feature the Hudson Valley Philharmonic under the direction of Guest Conductor Marietta Cheng.

The repertoire for Believe in Yourself
will include:
Delibes
Les Chasseresses: From the Ballet Sylvia
Shostakovitch
Festive Overture
Rimsky-Korsakov
Russian Easter Overture
Copland
Variations on a Shaker Theme(Simple Gifts)

Cortège de Bacchus: From the Ballet Sylvia

“Whenever we can draw upon our students limited life experiences and have them use their imagination – great things are bound to happen.”
