“Getting to Know You” — Halloween Edition
An introduction to instruments of the orchestra

This program focuses on the musical instruments that comprise a symphony orchestra. Instruments are heard individually, in families and as part of the entire orchestra. A question & answer session followed the concert giving students and teachers the opportunity to ask questions of any musician or the conductor.
