Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra to visit area school kids
As the month of April winds down, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra is flexing its muscles in the community with a series of concerts designed for listeners of all ages.
DPO’s annual Magic Carpet Concerts begin on Monday, April 20. The program is a product of DPO’s educational outreach.
“The intent is to introduce orchestral music to the youngest of listeners,” said DPO education director, Gloria Pugh. “These concerts are scattered around the city and take place in informal settings. The themes appeal to young listeners. This years’s theme is Going Places. Assistant conductor Patrick Reynolds will take students on an imaginary journey to different countries around the world.”
The Magic Carpet ride begins at Wright State University on April 20 and continues to Christian Life Center April 21, Temple Israel April 22, Southminster Presbyterian Church April 23, Salem Church of God April 24, and Ginghamsburg Church April 28.
Concert times are 9:45 a.m. for Preschool kids and 11:00 a.m. for kids in the primary grades. Cost is $3.75 per person. For more information call (937) 224-3521 ext. 136.
For the older set, Music Director Neal Gittleman and the DPO welcome guest violinist Stephanie Chase on Thursday, April 30 and Saturday, May 2 at 8 p.m. for Vivid Passions.
The program features the music of Mozart, Shostakovich and Beethoven. It is the eighth concert in this season’s Miami Valley and Good Samaritan Hospitals’ Classical Series at Schuster Center. Tickets are $62 to $12 and are available by calling (937) 228-3630.
