Science of Sound
Grades 1–6Wed Nov 3, 2021 4pm CT
Join us for an amazing online Young People's Concert presented in partnership with the Science Museum of Minnesota and Twin Cities PBS! Students and families will see the full Orchestra onstage and individual members partnering one-on-one with instructors at the Science Museum—where they’ll explore the physics behind sound production and reveal the physical impulses that our brains translate, like magic, into the music we hear and love. Demonstrations will explore concepts like frequency, amplitude and timbre, with musical selections by Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Zhou Tian and more. Another treat: seeing it all come together in a star turn by a supremely talented young violinist, winner of YPSCA’s Concerto Competition!
