An Orchestra Adventure / Webisode 2: Sensational Strings

AN ORCHESTRA ADVENTURE
with Maestro Karl and friends
Webisode 1: Sensational Strings
Join the Calgary Philharmonic and Associate Conductor Karl Hirzer for a fun and educational tour of the Orchestra! This four-part online series takes kids on a musical journey through the four sections that make up a symphony orchestra: woodwinds, strings, brass, and percussion.
Along the way, they'll encounter different instruments and some of the musicians who play them, as well as take a few side trips to discover interesting facts about music and famous composers.
This series of four 15-minute episodes is perfect for parents and educators who want to share the symphony orchestra experience with children and spark a life-long love of classical music.
In the second instalment, Maestro Karl discovers interesting facts about the instruments of the biggest section of the Orchestra - violin, viola, cello, and double bass - and takes a trip back in time to learn more about composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
Made possible by the generous support of the Rozsa Foundation and the Calgary Foundation.
