Description
The Lake Forest Symphony?s Young People?s Concerts this year will be presented for families on Sunday, April 19 at at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Lake Forest. The performance will be free and open to the public, student groups should register in advance to ensure a spot. We will present the innovative program, Compose Yourself!, written just for students in grades 3-5 by James Stephenson, the Lake Forest Symphony?s composer-in-residence. The concert will give students an opportunity to see how classical music is composed through an interactive and engaging program. We know many students at this age are starting to think about choosing an instrument to play themselves at this point in their education. This is a chance for students to hear fifteen different classical instruments played by some of the finest musicians in the Chicago area. Compose Yourself! is also unique in that it highlights the different timbres (CCSS Language: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use) of these instruments, and the ways in which they work together to create the sound of the full orchestra (CCSS Speaking and Listening: Comprehension and Collaboration).
