How: Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas music teachers developed a curriculum guide with the Florida Orchestra and these youth concerts are the culmination. This youth concert explores space travel and music about the skies above. The concert will feature stunning visuals from NASA’s exploration of the lunar surface and introductions to the instrument families of the orchestra. Students will explore America’s journey to space through the music of Mozart, Strauss, Holst, and others, and will interact with the orchestra during the concert through movement and singing.
