🎵 What an incredible day with our 4th graders at the North Carolina Symphony's Education Concert at Walter M. Williams High School! From Beethoven to Tchaikovsky, our students experienced the magic of orchestral music up close and personal. The symphony took our students on a musical journey exploring different elements like rhythm, dynamics, and form, and watching their faces light up when they recognized familiar pieces was priceless! Throughout the concert, students gave rousing ovations to each section of the orchestra - from the soaring strings to the booming percussion. Their genuine excitement and appreciation echoed throughout the concert hall! Special shoutout to the North Carolina Symphony for making classical music engaging and accessible for our students. These educational concerts truly help bring music education to life! 🎻🎺🥁
