Program for PreK- to Grade 3: Calculating Music
How many musicians does it take to make the great, full sound of a symphony Orchestra? Come help Maestro Franz add and subtract musicians until we find the perfect number of musicians. Calculating Music, in alignment with New York State Standards, is a 35 minute concert that will help the young student be able to see the orchestra as a manipulative, identify sound differences between four instrument families, explore variations in sound based on number of musicians involved and compare numbers of musicians per piece.
