• IN-SCHOOL ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCES: This year Philharmonic Orchestra musicians and Music School faculty comprise more than 20 In- School Ensembles. These ensembles introduce students to various musical styles: Jazz, Classical, World and Folk. All ensembles are interactive and encourage active listening. While all of the groups focus on a particular genre of music, some ensembles further concentrate on specific topics such as composing, improvising and story telling. In addition, our musicians will work with classroom teachers to design residencies and workshops that will enhance their classroom curricula. • ANNUAL EDUCATION CONCERTS: This year’s Education Concerts will feature Sounds of Nature. The concerts will be held at the VMA in Providence on Tuesday, May 11 and Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Concerts will be presented at 9:45 and 11:30 each morning. Tickets are $5.00 per student,with one free chaperone ticket for every 20 students. Schools in which 80% or more of the student population receive free or reduced lunch may attend at no charge. There is a sliding scale for school in which 40-80% of the students receive lunch at a reduced price. Please inquire for details. Our Study Guide will be sent to you in the spring when your school has registered.
