This blogger gives a peek at what goes on in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program.
Here's an excerpt:
"This week is our first residency of the
Abreu Fellows program. To go along with the stuff we learn everyday in class, these residencies are a chance for us to see El Sistema-inspired programs up close. Come check out life inside the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra OrchKids program.
OrchKids is the Baltimore's Symphony's program but it takes place at Lockerman-Bundy Elementary school in West Baltimore, about ten minutes by car from the Josesph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall where the Baltimore Symphony performs. The program is open to any child who goes to Lockerman-Bundy Elementary from pre-K to 2nd grade. They plan to add a grade to the program each year. There is no audition process, rather just a comittment from the child to show up. The program is free of charge for all the kids. It runs Monday to Thursday for 3 hours a day after school and on Saturdays field trips are organized."
