Link Up Concerts
Bring Students to the Orchestra...
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.
2027 THE ORCHESTRA ROCKS
The Link Up curriculum is designed to supplement your curriculum and includes activities and warm-ups that can be used for introducing recorder and vocal techniques, as well as introductory lessons on rhythm and melody. The Link Up program addresses National Core Arts Standards for Music, Common Core State Standard and the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for General and Instrumental Music Proficiency.

"I have always felt that the Link Up experience for my students is a fantastic opportunity. For most of my students this is the their first chance to be a part of a grand music making experience with a professional group. It is my gift to them to think for maybe I could do that, too."
