YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERTS
A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra
(Grades 5-8)
September 26, 2012 at 11:45 a.m.
Join us for one of the best-known orchestral
works ever written for young listeners. Always exciting, engaging and
educational, this seminal piece by Britten explores the tones, colors and
dynamics of the full orchestra and individual instruments.
Mother Goose Suite (Grades 3-4)
January 30, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
Students will explore how music, fairy tales
and imagination interact as we journey through the magical worlds of Beauty and
the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and many more. In addition to Ravel’s
Mother Goose Suite, the program will include interpretations of popular fairy
tales by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Nielsen.
Harmonielehre (Grades 9-12)
February 8, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
This concert invites high school students to
explore the evocative work of John Adams, one of contemporary America’s most
influential composers. Harmonielehre, roughly translated as “the book of
harmony,” fuses the repetitive style of 20th-century Minimalism with the
expressive, all-encompassing sound of 19th-century Romanticism. Adams’
breathtaking work will invite students to explore the full range of ideas in
classical music over the past two centuries.
Percussive Hits! (Kindergarten-Grade 2)
February 13, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
A perfect introduction to the Symphony for
younger audiences, this lively program will teach students about the various
instruments in the percussion family. The full orchestra will perform works by
Mozart, Kodaly and Britten, and the Nashville Symphony percussionists will also
play solo works and discuss what makes their instruments unique.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the special concerts for Young People above, students in grades 3 and up are invited to attend Nashville Symphony Dress Rehearsals featuring classical guest artists. Most dress rehearsals are held on Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. in Laura Turner Concert Hall in the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES DIRECTLY FROM THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY:
In
order to keep these dress rehearsals free and open to schools and
community groups, we ask that you abide by the following rules:
· These are working rehearsals for the conductor, orchestra, and guest artist. In order for them to have a successful rehearsal, a quiet environment is imperative. Please do not talk or whisper during the rehearsal. The music can stop suddenly as the conductor is giving notes, so talking will not be tolerated. If you are bringing a school group, please make your students aware of the absolute need for silence while listening.
· Please do not get up to leave the hall during the rehearsal.
There is a 20 minute break which occurs halfway through the rehearsal
at which time the audience can leave the hall for the bathroom, visit
the café, etc.
· Dress rehearsals are only open to students in grades 3 and above.
We have plenty of educational programs offered for younger students,
like our Pied Piper and Young People’s Concerts. Because of the need
for quiet over an extended period of time, these dress rehearsals do not
tend to be an engaging experience for younger children.
Thank
you for your understanding. We have put these rules in place so that
we may continue to offer free dress rehearsals, while respecting the
needs of our conductor and musicians. We look forward to hosting you at
the Schermerhorn Symphony Center!
Additional Instructions for Attendance
The
age recommendations are for school groups. You know your children best
and may want to take a younger child who can sit quietly and enjoy the
performance while you choose to leave an older, uninterested or noisy
child at home. We are guests of the symphony and your family's actions
reflect on all homeschoolers. The symphony has restricted community
groups this year and we want to do all we can to encourage them to
continue allowing us to participate in this wonderful opportunity!
Best,
Diana
