The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra continued its outreach to area third through eighth grade students by sponsoring instructional concerts for students at Lakeview High School Auditorium in Cortland on the morning of November 17, 2017. These live performances encourage students to discover the thrill of classical music and the instruments, performers and composers that enrich our lives.
The concerts were free to students from Trumbull-area schools. Reservation details had been sent to building principals. The orchestra performed excerpts from the fall public concert on the theme Stories and Surprises! Students experienced works by Mendelssohn (Fingal's Cave), Rimsky-Korsakov (Flight of the Bumblebee from The Tale of Tsar Saltan), Ravel (Laideronette, Empress of the Pagodas from Mother Goose Suite) and Mozart (Opening Allegro from Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra in C major).
"A giant, a bumblebee, a princess, a green serpent, magic spells and more! -- Welcome to our special Stories and Surprises! school concerts made just for you!" explained Susan Davenny Wyner, Warren Philharmonic Orchestra's music director and conductor. "Our orchestra has over 50 professional musicians who play over 60 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, along with accompanying CD recordings and liner notes, had been delivered to Trumbull County grade 3-8 schools. Students and teachers were encouraged to participate in the 2017 Art in Music Contest where students illustrate their interpretations of 2017 concert selections. Galleries of 2016 Art in Music Contest and 2015 Art in Music Contest winning entries are available.
