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. If you have any questions, feel free to call Julie Nystedt, Operations Manager at 269-963-1911 ext. 2503 or at operations@musiccenterscmi.com. |

In fact, you can get tickets for as low as $7 per ticket! Myth #2. Symphony Concerts are boring. Symphony music is some of the most exciting and dramatic music ever written. That's why so many movie scores are inspired by symphonic classics. Myth #3. Concerts are stuffy and long. Our typical concerts are less than two hours and have an upbeat, multi-media approach. Myth #4. You have to wear a suit and a tie to go to a concert. Come as you like. Some folks like to dress up, others prefer a more casual look. Myth #5. You can only applaud at certain times. We love your applause!
