How does a symphony orchestra work?
The concert combines powerful musical experiences with active learning, and with the help of our inspiring guide, Kristina Sturk, the audience will learn how a symphony orchestra works.
Everything from getting to know the different instrument families—from violins and clarinets to timpani and trumpets—to actually trying their hand at conducting and participating musically in the orchestra.
Welcome to an exciting journey through the World of Music!
