Description

Investigate the magic of the symphony orchestra with the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra at their annual children’s concert! The Orchestra Games, by composer Gregory Smith, lays out the sections and instruments of the orchestra in an Olympic Games format. Hear each symphonic instrument in events such as the low-note limbo, the glissando slide for life, the fast note dash, the marathon, and many others! 

The second work is Mr. Smith’s Bowl of Twelve Notes, also by composer Gregory Smith. An intrepid narrator interrupts a concert to take you through the different periods of music history, all alike in using only twelve notes! He then tells the story of how he came to be at the concert with music from all of the time periods. It’s a wild ride through history, one note at a time!  

Stay after the performance for a chance to try out instruments at the “Instrument Petting Zoo!”

For all ages.
