Children sit right next to musicians and get a first hand musical experience.
One of the most exciting and memorable parts of our performance is when we choose several students to conduct the orchestra. This year we will also be inviting several students who play an instrument to sit next to our musicians and play with the group. Morrie, who has joined our staff as Cartoonist and Artistic Consultant, will also draw cartoons live of children chosen as student conductors at selected concerts. The Bay Area Little Symphony brings a core of professional musicians directly into elementary, Junior high, high schools, and fine Bay Area theaters. The high level of performance standards in the orchestra is an essential thrust in each program.
