About Symphony Storytime
Symphony Storytime introduces students to some of the most recognizable classical music through the reading of stories from The Story Orchestra book series. Classical music is brought to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classical ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. Each Symphony Storytime includes the reading of a storybook with musical interludes from famous orchestral works and a music education component where students will learn about the composer and the music heard and can ask questions and interact with the Owensboro Symphony’s education team. This engaging program will be fun, imaginative, and educational for all who listen.
