Our Field Trip to the NC Symphony is on: November 15, 2023

About the Concert

Each year, more than 50,000 fourth and fifth graders have their first live orchestral music experience at the North Carolina Symphony’s Education Concerts. Our interactive performances take place at concert halls and school auditoriums throughout the state, including under-served communities where students would otherwise have little or no access to the arts.

The Education Concert theme, “What Makes Music … Music?” teaches core musical components such as melody, rhythm, and dynamics. Aligning with the curriculum set by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, we work with music educators to develop annual teacher curriculum guides and accompanying student workbooks to be used in classroom activities throughout the year in preparation for the Education Concert.
