Young People’s Concert: The Orchestra Moves

February 20 2025

5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Chrysler Hall 215 St Pauls Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 892-6366 Price: $10
A Young People’s Concert Event

By any definition, music moves. As organized sound, music moves through time and space from high to low, creating patterns and motifs. Composers and performers use expressive qualities to move us emotionally. Music also compels us to move physically and is embodied in many kinds of dance. Using Orff Schulwerk strategies and complementary creative movement activities, we will discover all the interwoven ways in which the orchestra moves.

One FREE chaperone ticket per 10 students
Registrations will close on February 13, one week prior to the concert.
