Concerts for Kids and Families: Music By, For and About Young People!
The North State Symphony’s annual youth concerts have a special element this year. At the concerts, presented in Redding on Jan 22 and Chico on Jan 23, every musical selection is either written by, for or about young people.
At Redding’s Cascade Theatre on Jan. 22, NSS Resident Conductor Dwayne Corbin will present two short programs for audiences of different ages. At nine AM, a special Little Ones Concert is especially for pre-schoolers. At 11AM a different program for children in the elementary grades and up will follow.
In Chico on Jan 23 at 10:30 AM in Laxson Auditorium Corbin will lead the NSS players in a repeat of the elementary-grade children’s program as part of the Field Trip Series.
Both classes and families are welcome at the concerts. In Redding, contact the Cascade Box Office at 243-8877. In Chico, the University Box Office number is 898-6333.
More concert details are available here.
Additionally, the North State Symphony makes a special appearance in Oroville’s State Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 24, presenting a concert for music lovers of all ages. The concert, which begins at 7:00PM is under the auspices of the State Theatre Arts Guild.
NSS Resident Conductor Dwayne Corbin will lead a program of music written from the 1764 to 1940. The very first symphony by Wolfgang Mozart was composed when Mozart was only 8 years old, in 1764. Many years later a French composer named Francis Poulenc wrote music for the children’s tale The Story of Babar, which the symphony will also play.
Tickets are available online at www.orovillestatetheatre.org.
