Alabama Symphony Orchestra

#savethedate: Were you one of the over 3000 students/educators who adored Once Upon a Time? Did you miss out last season? Audiences will have another opportunity to experience this intro to the orchestra, opera, and dance in the 23/24 Season!

Building Blocks of the Symphony is designed for PK-2nd grade. Similar to how we build houses, skyscrapers and even cities, students will learn how music is built by focusing on musical concepts and their correlation with STEAM. Reservations can be made at: alsymphony.org/fieldtrips
