Education Concerts (grades 3-5)
For more than 75 years, the North Carolina Symphony’s Education Concerts have been a cornerstone of music education in the state, offering engaging one-hour performances tailored for students in grades 3 to 5. Through these concerts, young audiences are taken on a journey of musical discovery, exploring “What Makes, Music, Music?” through repertoire spanning various musical genres and styles. With a rich history of inspiring students, these concerts continue to be a vital resource for educators, fostering a deep appreciation for music and enriching the cultural education for students across North Carolina.
