The 2013/14 youth concert program Música Latina: A Symphonic Celebration of the Americas, designed for students in grades 3-8 returns to Boettcher Concert Hall. When first performed, teachers said, “It was wonderful to reinforce that FaNTasTIC music has come from countries that many of them [students] have heard of or come from.” “With our population of 50% Hispanic students, this program culturally connected them to classical music – a big ‘aha’ for many of them.” Teach-ers receive teaching materials that align with Colorado state standards for music and social studies and a Cd featuring the program’s repertoire, enabling classroom study in advance of the field trip experience. Make reservations early! This will be the most important field trip of the school year.
