Rehearsal Information

Performance Information

The theme this year is inspired by Benjamin Britten’s piece The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. This musical composition introduces children to all parts of the orchestra by highlighting each one in small sections. Listen here! Each class will be assigned a different instrument and selected piece of music for the showcase.
