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 a newly revised version of Link Up: The Orchestra Moves, which explores how composers use the orchestra to create musical movement. Students will analyze and interpret how music moves through meter, melodic patterns, and expressive qualities. Repertoire includes works by Beethoven, Márquez, Bizet, and a new commission by Angélica Negrón! At the end of the year, students will sing and play the recorder with a professional orchestra in a culminating concert in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Concerts will take place on May 21, 22, and 23, 2019.
For application and program questions, email linkup@carnegiehall.org or call 212-424-2013.
All participating teachers are required to attend one professional development workshop in fall 2018. Professional development workshops take place in the Resnick Education Wing at Carnegie Hall. The entrance is located at 154 West 57th Street (at Seventh Avenue), just east of the main Box Office entrance. Get directions to Carnegie Hall.
Carnegie Hall also offers an optional mid-winter professional development workshop for teachers. While it is not required for your participation in Link Up, this workshop will serve as an additional opportunity to explore the Link Up: The Orchestra Moves curriculum, interact with the artists, and share best practices with fellow Link Up teachers. We highly encourage you to attend one of the dates.
