The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra continued its outreach to area third through eighth grade students by sponsoring an instructional concert for students at Packard Music Hall in Warren on October 26, 2018, at 10 a.m. This live performance encouraged students to discover the thrill of classical music and the instruments, performers and composers that enrich our lives.
The concert was free to students from Trumbull-area schools. Reservation details wew sent to building principals. The orchestra performed excerpts from the fall public concert on the theme Secrets and Treasures. Students experienced works by Handel (Entrance of the Queen of Sheba), Haydn (Symphony No. 82, "The Bear"), Beethoven (Creatures of Prometheus Overture), Rossini (Cinderella Overture) and Bizet (Toreador Song from Carmen). Also, soloist Brian Johnson performed a surprise popular piece.
"Tricks and treats, surprises and disguises, these composers use them all! -- Welcome to our special Secrets and Treasures! school concert made just for you!" explained Susan Davenny Wyner, Warren Philharmonic Orchestra's music director and conductor. "Our orchestra has over 40 professional musicians who play over 50 different musical instruments. At the concert you will meet all the instruments of the orchestra and hear the stories behind the music."
Materials for teachers preparing their students for a concert experience were delivered to Trumbull County grade 3-8 school principals and can be downloaded from links below on this page.
Students and teachers are encouraged to participate in the 2019 Art in Music Contest where students illustrate their interpretations of 2018 concert selections.
