With support from the California Arts Council, San Diego Symphony will offer Music 101: Meet the Instrument Families to 3rd and 4th graders in 3 schools with: 1) 3 in-school programs introducing students to the woodwind, brass, and string families through exposure to diverse music genres, conversation, and performance by musicians performing as a quartet or quintet; 2) on-line and print study guides; 3) program evaluation/documentation; 4) docent visits/field trip to a Young People’s Concert.
Through a rich mixture of innovative and educational concert programming, the Symphony makes music an integral part of the cultural and intellectual fabric of the region and seeks to improve the quality of life for residents of all ages. The Symphony offers a wide range of concert experiences, including Jacobs’ Masterworks classical concerts at Jacobs Music Center and the Conrad Prebys Summer Season at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. Each year the Symphony serves a diverse audience of more than 250,000 people of all ages from throughout the region.
