Join Carnegie Hall's Weill Music
Institute this year for Link Up: The Orchestra Rocks.
In this program, students in grades 3–5 discover how composers and
musicians play with elements of rhythm, creating patterns of sound
and silence that are expressive and exciting. Exploring a range of
orchestral repertoire, students sing, play the recorder and/or the
violin, compose, and perform in a culminating concert at Carnegie
Hall.
