YOUNG PEOPLE’S DISCOVERY SERIES
2024-2025 Discovery Concert:
Orchestra Olympics
Take part in a fun-filled musical event led by your Baton Rouge Symphony!
Experience the “Orchestra Olympics,” where kids learn the fundamentals of music by acting as the judges in an Olympic Games-style tournament!
Our talented musicians will lead a series of “competitions,” where the kids will decide:
Which instrument can play the loudest?
Which can play the softest?
Which piece of music sounded the silliest?
Which sounds the saddest?
What about the scariest?
What makes a piece of music sound a certain way?
Each challenge highlights the unique sounds and personalities of each instrument, offering an interactive, playful concert filled with exciting classical repertoire. The kids will award Gold Medals to the winners of each category, and they just might leave with a medal of their own!
Join us on March 19th or 20th (9:30AM on both days) at Istrouma Baptist Church for this amazing 30-minute concert!
Check out how much fun we’ve had in the past!
