Orchestra Concerts for your School

I. ADVENTURES IN MUSIC CONCERTS

Adventures in Music targets students in grades 6 through 12 and provides an opportunity for these young adults to attend a live performance of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra under the direction of David Wiley. Programs are planned to provide a quality musical experience for the attendees while simultaneously supporting material required in all subject areas as outlined by the Virginia Standards of Learning. A detailed "Study Guide" is provided to assist teachers in their preparation and follow-up. Teacher, administrator, parental, and student feedback is sought to help the education staff of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra evaluate this program. Adventures in Music concerts are not planned for the 2010-2011 school year.




II. DISCOVERY CONCERTS

These concerts feature more than 120 young musicians who comprise the Roanoke Youth Symphony Orchestra (RYSO) and the Roanoke Youth Symphony Junior Strings The purpose of the program is two-fold: first, to provide students in grades three through five the opportunity to hear a full orchestra perform live at the Roanoke Performing Arts Theatre (located at the Roanoke Civic Center); second, to provide valuable performance experience for the members of the two ensembles. Each year, a new program is planned to provide a quality musical experience for the attendees while simultaneously supporting material required in all subject areas as outlined by the Virginia Standards of Learning. A detailed "Study Guide" is provided to assist teachers in their preparation and follow-up. Teacher, administrator, parental, and student feedback is sought to help the education staff of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra evaluate this program.
