Children's CONCERT for fourth & fifth grades

Each year the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, working with the school corporations in Vigo and surrounding counties, invites all 4th and 5th grade classes to attend its annual free Children’s Concert. Attendance is now at nearly 4000 students from seven counties throughout the Wabash Valley.

This concert is designed to familiarize the children with the various orchestral instruments, how these instruments work together in an orchestra, and how to listen to and enjoy music with which they may be unfamiliar. Realizing that “making music” can be fun encourages students to participate in school based music programs…orchestra, band, chorus and glee clubs. We are convinced that being introduced to various kinds of music at a young age adds a life-long cultural dimension to a student’s education.

To ensure that all students may attend, families are not asked to contribute. The $20,000.00 cost of this concert is funded solely through grants and donations from foundations and financial institutions.

The Terre Haute Symphony Annual Children's Concert will be Friday, April 18th, 2008 at Hulman Center on the ISU campus. Vigo County schools will attend the first performance; all other schools will attend the second performance. You must register to reserve seating for your school. Registration forms will be available on line soon.
