An Orchestra Adventure / Webisode 4: Playful Percussion

AN ORCHESTRA ADVENTURE
with Maestro Karl and friends
Webisode 4: Playful Percussion
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 final instalment of An Orchestra Adventure (with Maestro Karl and friends), we'll explore the percussion section (triangle, cymbals, timpani, bass drum, and more!) and enjoy a special visit from Music Director Rune Bergmann.
Made possible by the generous support of the Rozsa Foundation and the Calgary Foundation.

I listened to this with headphones for the first time today, and finally noticed the melody in the backboard basketball shots. Well played.
