Educational Initiatives Each year, the Battle Creek Symphony performs free educational concerts for students ranging from 2nd through 12th grade. The Battle Creek Symphony is committed to reach as many students as possible, so the only cost to schools is in transporting students to W.K. Kellogg Auditorium for each age-appropriate concert. Symphony programs have included school-oriented performances of opera, symphonic classics, and multi-discipline programs to fit into schools’ everyday curriculum. In addition, teaching materials are made available in advance of the concerts. These materials are designed to prepare students and teachers for the concert experience as well as the repertoire and musical concepts covered in each program. In-school “Informances,” which bring representatives from the Music Center of South Central Michigan to individual classrooms, are also available for a nominal fee. Informances are often given by Symphony musicians or guest artists. We will be showcasing the wonderful “Appalachian Spring” with brilliant photo-choreography as well as a young violin soloist on our next school show on Friday, March 20th at 10:00am. We would like this to be open to Battle Creek area elementary school children. We will be taking reservations on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please respond to Kevin Cort at kcort@musiccenterscmi.com or at (269) 565-2199 if you are interested in having your students attend, and return the attached reservation form no later than February 13th so that we can prepare for the event. We will be sending out more detailed information and packets will be available online to highlight the program as the date gets closer. Thank you for your support and participation! If you have any questions, feel free to call Kevin Cort, Operations Manager at (269) 963-1911 ext. 2503 or at kcort@musiccenterscmi.com. |
