Narrating “Concerts for Fifth Grade” / Philharmonic Society of Orange County
January 22 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm PST
The Philharmonic Society of Orange County presents their Concerts for Fifth Grade, starring the Orange County Youth Symphony led by Music Director Johannes Müller Stosch. And I have the honor and pleasure of narrating the program and interacting directly with a concert-hall full of enthusiastic youngsters. (They literally clap wildly for everything!) For this presentation, we will explore together how music helps with storytelling and character. Our protagonist will be a budding conductor!
The program includes programmatic works by Alexander Borodin, George Gershwin, Johann Strauss II, Ennio Morricone, and John Williams.
