BRING STUDENTS TO THE ORCHESTRA
Link Up
Link Up, a program of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, guides students and teachers through a semester-long exploration of orchestral repertoire. Students sing and play soprano recorder or string instruments while learning basic musical concepts and composing their own music. This program provides extensive standards-based teacher and student materials and culminates in an interactive orchestral concert in which students sing or play along with the SC Philharmonic.

BRING THE ORCHESTRA TO STUDENTS
Carnival of the Animals
Carnival of the Animals is a humorous musical suite by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Composed in 1886, it is structured in fourteen movements, each representing different animals or scenes.
Aesop's Fables
Aesop’s Fables for narrator and chamber orchestra are light musical vignettes. Their descriptive and colorful character makes them attractive to the young musical ear. Aesop’s Fables was composed to introduce the instruments of the orchestra to elementary students and to teach them about the elements of music.
