General Music Enrichment:
-
New World Symphony Concerts for Kids ($30 for both Fall and Spring Concert listed): Dates TBD
-
Open Rehearsal Observations (New World Symphony)- this is only available upon my reservation for grades 5 and up! Should anyone be interested in observing a professional orchestra rehearsal in the Fall please let me know. These sessions are free for students and there is an opportunity for Q and A with the conductor and musicians afterwards.
-
Instrument Zoos (New World Symphony)- this is an opportunity for your little ones ages 4-9 to try out various instruments including strings, piano, percussion, brass and winds. These are typically one hour before the concerts for kids start.
-
NSO Family Concerts and Instrument Petting Zoos- for the MD students. I highly recommend going to these concerts or petting zoos before the concert to try out an instrument for fun or just explore the Kennedy Center! (dates are TBD.)
-
NSO In Your Neighborhood- these free concerts, master classes, and chamber ensembles are a very fun resource worth tapping into!
