Chamber Fun 101

A presentation for families that introduces the string quartet, the physics of sounds and the instruments, and great composers throughout history. This program is geared toward very young audience members age 1 through 6.

 

Creativity Calling

This show is designed for pre-school children and includes an interactive short story with music accompaniment, dance and movement, creating art, and an instrument petting zoo.

​

Musical Teamwork

This program was developed with students in grades 3-4 in mind. It is all about creativity. It takes a "sporting" look at what goes into creating and performing music, coming to the conclusion that the best music-making happens when everyone plays on the same "team."

​

Music Has It All

Geared toward grades 3-7, this program teaches how music is related to other major subjects students study in school: math, science, art, and (of course) recess!

 

Drawing Sound

This experience is directed to visual art classrooms with detailed exploration of the relationship between acoustic and visual media. Students create an art project as listen to the quartet perform.

 

The Sound Palette of the String Quartet

This is a great show for high school or college students with a musical background. Showcasing the variety and breadth of music from string instruments, the quartet takes the audience on a journey, discovering new sounds and rediscovering familiar sounds.
