Charleston Symphony Orchestra Free Concerts for Kids – Charleston, South Carolina

December 30, 2007 by Susanne Talentino

The Charleston Symphony Orchestra Presents Two Children’s Concerts: The Jammin’town Musicians And How To Build An Orchestra
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Resident Conductor Scott Terrell, will present two concerts for children and families in the month of January. Two performances of the CSO’s popular Kinderkonzert, The Jammin’ Town Musicians, will take place on January 12 at 10:00 and 11:30 AM at Creative Spark Center for the Arts in Mt. Pleasant. How to Build an Orchestra, a Family Concert for children of all ages and their families, will take place on January 26 at 10:00 AM at the Sottile Theater.

Designed for young children, Kinderkonzerts are fun, casual concerts that expose kids to music in an entertaining way. Ten musicians from the Charleston Symphony and Scott Terrell will start off the morning with a quick ride through the Kabalevsky’s Commedian’s Galop. Children are encouraged to dance and enjoy themselves during Scott Joplin’s ever-popular Maple Leaf Rag. The feature presentation will be Edie Hill’s Jammin’ Town Musicians; a humorous musical journey adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairytale, The Bremen Town Musicians. Narrator Anthony Pierce will lead the audience in the story of a colorful group of animals that decide to leave their hometown to become musicians. Choose to attend this performance at either 10:00 AM or 11:30 AM on January 12, 2008. All Kinderkonzerts are free of charge.

This season’s second concert in the Charleston Symphony’s brand new Family Concert series is How to Build and Orchestra. Conductor Scott Terrell will arrive at the concert hall and find no orchestra to lead! One violin player will stumble onto stage and, together, they will try to figure out how they can gather the musicians they need. The audience will participate as each necessary player is located. Strings, then woodwinds, brass, and percussion will each demonstrate what they bring to the orchestra. Finally, Scott and the audience will put it all together with the exciting closing work – The Thrill of the Orchestra.
