RSO Annual Youth Concert Targets 5th and 6th Graders
The annual Youth Concert offers area public, private, parochial
and home school students and teachers the opportunity to
attend a live, specially programmed performance that is not
only a great listening experience, but targets state goals
and standards for 5th and 6th grades. However, ALL grade
level students are invited to attend. The RSO offers this
opportunity at a much reduced ticket cost for students and
provides listening CDs and a packet of educational materials
for teachers to better prepare their students for the experience.
Two performances (9:45 and 11:15 a.m.) are offered at the
Coronado Performing Arts Center on the date selected each
season.
Some of the teacher comments from the most recent Youth
Concert, “Lights, Camera, Action… and Music” featuring
the compositions of Oscar winning American composer John
Williams include:
“This (Youth Concert) was a lovely experience.
Mr. Larsen and the RSO gave an excellent presentation that
far
exceeded my expectations. Music is fundamental to learning
and we are well pleased! Thank you!”
“My students LOVED this concert! I come every year – wouldn’t
miss it. Maestro Larsen was fabulous with the students.”
