Youth Concerts have long been a favorite way
to introduce children to the exhilarating experience
of attending a live orchestral performance. The
Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra's
first Youth Concerts were presented in
1977. The project always proves popular with students
and has enthusiastic support and assistance from
local music teachers. Because of the continuing
support of area foundations, businesses and individual
contributors, we can ensure that future generations
experience our Youth Concerts and the
thrill of symphonic music.
In
2008, the orchestra will present this popular
annual event, especially designed for young students,
on October 10 at 10:00 and 11:30am. This year's
performance, Score One for the Orchestra, explores the relationships between playing on a football team and playing in an orchestra. The skills required for both will be the focus of Matt Blundin, former professional American football quarterback and narrator for this concert.
