Description
PRIMARY PROMS: THE FOUR SEASONS
Recommended for students in years K – 2
“A unique orchestral experience and performance for kids.” Catherine Martin, Director
SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING
An intimate and joyful introduction to orchestral music for early primary students.
The Four Seasons is Vivaldi’s best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music. Performed live by The Primary Proms Orchestra, the music will take students on a journey through the seasons where a young boy discovers the delights and difficulties of Mother Nature.
In this rich musical experience students will have the opportunity to meet the musicians and be introduced to the instruments and their sounds. A discussion led by our educators will focus on how Vivaldi created the sounds of the seasons - from the silvery pizzicato notes of winter to the dramatic final movement of the summer thunderstorm.
