MUSIC FIELD TRIPS * * CULTURAL FIELD TRIPS * * THEATRE FIELD TRIPS
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at Powell Symphony Hall - October 14, 2008
Willow Brook's Third graders enjoy an annual field trip to Powell Symphony Hall on Grand avenue in St. Louis to hear the world-famous St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in their "KinderKonzert" series. For some, this cultural experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For most - we hope it sparks a sense of pride in the cultural offerings of our city, and stimulates their desire to attend future concerts of this fabulous orchestra.
To help them prepare for the trip, students study the names and sounds of the instruments of the orchestra. These resources may be of interest to you.
