The Milwaukee Symphony partners with Carnegie

Hall’s Weill Music Institute to bring the Link Up program to our

community . Link Up pairs orchestras across the country with

students in grades 3-5 at schools in their local communities to

explore orchestral repertoire through a year-long hands-on

music curriculum . Composers and musicians create melodies,

which can be sung or played on instruments . When an orchestra

plays these melodies, the orchestra sings . Students explore

melody in a range of colorful orchestral repertoire, sing, play the

recorder or violin, compose and perform in a culminating concert!
