New in 2027: Carnegie Hall Link Up
Every year FSO musicians visit select elementary schools in Cumberland County Schools (CCS) to give fifth grade students engaging presentations and informative Q&A sessions supplementing the music teachers’ own work with a curriculum designed by Carnegie Hall to make students active music-makers by singing, dancing, or playing instruments together. This curriculum prepares the students for an interactive performance from the Symphony in the spring each school year, where the orchestra will perform the songs students have been learning in class. Students are encouraged to join in the performance as they did in the classroom before. This concert is often the first introduction for these students to a live symphonic concert experience. Learn more at the Carnegie Hall Link Up Website. This program was previously the FSO’s “Peter and the Wolf” concert, presented to third-grade students in a similar way.
We are grateful for United Way of Cumberland County’s Youth Growth Stock Trust for making this program possible with their generous support.
