New Music for Young Audiences: Grave & Groovy

Ensemble 212 presents its innovative, all new music educational concert series New Music for Young Audiences series titled "Grave and Groovy" featuring 4 wind quintets by all living African-American composers, each in their own individual styles, ranging from serious to playful music.

These family concerts help listeners connect to new classical music by explaining the background, elements, and techniques used to make each piece unique. Real-time on-screen program notes are projected during the performance. This further enhances the listener's experience by leading them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of classical music. They describe the musical elements of the works in a fun and inquisitive manner.

Come celebrate diversity in classical music with us on a Springtime Saturday afternoon! Bring the entire family for an hour of fun and learning.
