Link Up in the New York City Area
The Orchestra Swings
Link Up guides students in grades 3–5 through a yearlong exploration of orchestral repertoire and music making. This year, we are excited to announce the return of Link Up: The Orchestra Swings, which explores the intersection of classical music and jazz. Students will explore jazz-inspired selections from composers who include Bernstein, Ellington, Gershwin, and Price, as well as contemporary composer Courtney Bryan. At the end of the year, students will sing and play the recorder with a professional orchestra in a culminating concert at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Concerts will take place on May 19, 20, and 21, 2020.
