They have returned! The Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra is back and just as fun as ever. These educational concerts, presented free for teachers and students, will feature performances by the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra and the Harrisburg Symphony Youth Orchestra and will be hosted by Gregory Woodbridge, HSO Associate Conductor, and Stuart Malina, HSO Music Director.
Maestro Malina will guide students through select repertoire from the HSO’s November Masterworks program, including Mozart’s Symphony No. 36, Manuel de Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat, and Carl Nielsen’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra featuring HSO Principal Flutist, David DiGiacobbe.
For most students, this will be their very first experience hearing a live, professional symphony! Our orchestra LOVES performing for young people, and they give these performances the energy and enthusiasm they know our young audience deserves.
Repertoire will be chosen from the following:
Benjamin Britten Four Sea Interludes
Richard Strauss Death and Transfiguration
Stacy Garrop Becoming Medusa
Igor Stravinsky Suite from The Firebird
Children younger than 3rd and older than 8th may attend but this interactive concert, geared towards the 3rd-8th graders, will have students dancing in their seats and singing along with the orchestra.
Note: parking can be a challenge for these events so please plan ample time to find parking and walk to the Forum.
