It's Kids' Week at New World Symphony
This week, the New World Symphony devotes its performing talents to the youth of Miami and beyond.
The annual NWS Education Concerts - four concerts on Wednesday, February 3, and Friday, February 5 - are designed to be an inspirational experience outside the classroom for grades 4-12. These thematic daytime concerts introduce major orchestral works and composers to students from Miami-Dade and Broward counties. A program/study guide is sent in advance to all participating classes and round-trip bus transportation is provided free of charge. The duration of each concert is one hour.
The works presented this week are centered around the theme of love, in honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day. The pieces include Romeo and Juliet by both Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, the Brahms Lullaby, and excerpts from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Special guest artist for these concerts is 16-year-old violinist Hannah White, playing Massenet’s Meditation from Thaïs. Click here and here to read more about Hannah.
