Honors
Concert
Honors Concert. The St. Cloud Symphony presents a formal honors concert at the Paramount for a selected group of competitors. The honors concert receives billing as part of our concert series; we advertise the program in our season brochure. The selected competitors have an opportunity to display their musicianship in a formal concert atmosphere. The concert is well attended. The judges determine the participants in the honors concert by selecting participants whose musicianship displays a readiness for the formal concert setting. The participants in the honors concert are not ranked, they are selected because the judges have decided that their performances merit the honor of the concert setting. This year, participants selected for the honors concert will perform at the Ruth Gant Recital Hall, February 21, 2007 at 7:00 PM.
Classics
for Kids
The goal of Classics
for Kids is simple: to expose every fourth-grade child in St. Cloud,
Sartell and Sauk Rapids to classical music. Classics for Kids brings
groups of musicians and their instruments into area classrooms (October
to March) and allows students to interact on a personal level with performing
musicians. The final event is an orchestra performance for over 1,400
students.
Classics for Kids
exposes young people to the joys of music at the perfect time--when
they might be making the decision to play an instrument--in an effort
to give them a life-long hobby and means of self-expression. Students
participate in this program at no cost. The only cost to schools is
the expense of bussing students to the percussion event and the Classics
for Kids Concert.
