Please click the link below to apply.
Dear Educators,
Welcome to the 2012 TYSA Education Concert! In this guide you will find composer backgrounds, stories behind the pieces, video recordings, and access to a variety of lesson plans. I have also attached a variety of resources and activities for your students to this document.
This year's concert will be held on Friday, January 20, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.. Please spend some time on audience etiquette and explaining the concert format to your students. First, the orchestra comes onstage and warms up. Then, the student concertmaster (a violinist) comes to the podium and tunes the orchestra. At this time all of the instruments play the note "A" to make sure they all match. Finally, the conductor comes to the podium and begins the program. This will allow the students to understand what is happening on stage before the actual program begins.
The concert program is as follows:
Hall of the Mountain King....................................Edvard
Grieg
Hungarian Rhapsody No 2.......................................Franz
Liszt
(conducted by "Leopold" AKA "Bugs Bunny"
Peter and the Wolf...........................................Serge
Prokofiev
Star Wars..........................................................John
Williams
Encore: Pirates of the Caribbean...............Hans Zimmer
