Link Up: The Orchestra Moves
Students in grades 3–5 discover how composers create musical movement using elements such as motif, melodic direction, steps and leaps, dynamics, and orchestration. Exploring a range of orchestral repertoire, students sing, play the recorder and/or the violin, compose, and perform in a culminating concert in Albany's Municipal Auditorium.
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute’s Link Up program pairs orchestras with area students in grades 3-5 to explore orchestral repertoire through a hands-on music curriculum. Weill Music Institute provides each student with a workbook to use with their teachers. In addition, students learn and prepare songs to perform with the orchestra at the Link Up concert during the school day. For the first time, the Albany Symphony Orchestra will also perform this year’s interactive Link Up Concert, “The Orchestra Moves” at the Albany Municipal Auditorium in the evening so that students can invite parents, grandparents and friends.
