ROCHESTER SYMPHONY KIDS: Hear the Land | Mayo Civic Center Presentation Hall

In this concert, nature comes to life in music! Dance with woodland creatures in Dvořák’s Czech Suite, a collection of joyful folk melodies from the forests and meadows of Bohemia. Concertmaster Ms. Alexandra Bartoi will dazzle us with her violin as she plays a piece inspired by the culture of Budapest, Hungary (Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen). Then, Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony takes us deep into the countryside. Learn how composers use instruments to create musical versions of nature’s wonders like thunderstorms, chirping birds, and babbling brooks. It’s a perfect introduction to these classical masterpieces, inspired by the beauty and sounds of the natural world.

This kid-friendly concert is one-hour in length – a perfect concert experience for the littlest of listeners! Come early and make your own shaker instrument with SPARK Children’s Museum that we’ll use together during the concert.
