Lower Elementary students took a field trip to the see the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at Taft Theatre last week. We watched a performance called “The Orchestra Lab,” which introduced students to all of the different instrument families in the orchestra, and we heard lots of familiar music, including snippets of the themes from Star Wars and Harry Potter, as well as classics like Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and the Overture to Rossini’s The Barber of Seville.
After the concert, we walked to Smale Park on the riverfront to eat our lunches and play for a bit before getting back on the bus. We appreciate Elizabeth joining us for the performance, our parent chaperones for accompanying us all day, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for their wonderful show.
