M is for Music

 

Conductor: Calvin Dyck
GUEST ARTIST: Shauna Johannesen

Sarah T. Murdoch is sure that M is for….Meh. There are ZERO jellyfish in the orchestra and not a single dinosaur. Could music be its own adventure? In this delightful introduction to the symphony, Sarah explores the big questions: What is music for? Where does it come from? And is fancy-schmancy orchestra music really for everyone?

“If any of you are looking for an amazing concert
for school age children…”M is for Music” is the show for you.
With a feisty young girl as the protagonist, it takes the audience on a journey to the heart of music making – emotion
– while also exploring the capacity of the creative spirit to emerge in the most unlikely of ways.”

~ Jodi Proznick, Music Arts Collective ~
