The North Carolina Symphony performs education concerts for third through fifth grades statewide. We will begin taking reservations for the 2012-13 season in August 2012.

For the 2012-13 Student and Teacher workbooks, please see our Education Concert Resources page.

Our theme for 2012-13 is "What makes music MUSIC?" Using the most exciting compositions of composers from around the world, we will demonstrate the fundamentals of classical music: melody, tempo, texture, rhythm, form and dynamics.
