ADVENTURES WITH THE ORCHESTRA:
Featuring Tubby the Tuba

Pre-K through 2nd grade

Jere Flint, conductor
Wendy Bennett, vocalist, co-host

Michael Moore, principal tuba
Katrina Roelle & Scott Palma, dancers
Lee Harper, choreographer

Designed with young children in mind, these concerts introduce listeners to the orchestra and the instruments that comprise it. Musical selections are drawn from core orchestral repertoire and are short enough to match young attention spans. Performers lead the audience through a colorful symphonic adventure filled with singing, dancing, and beautiful music. Each child receives an activity guide to reinforce the educational concepts introduced. Teachers receive activity pages for a variety of ages and abilities. A CD of the concert repertoire is also included with each order.

NOTE: These are not the same programs as the Discover / neXt Generation concerts for older students, which take place at Symphony Hall on the same dates.
