The ASO's fun, educational program for all ages will look at the relationship between sights and sounds. What do the composers, performers and audiences see when they listen? Do we all see the same things? How can we use our images to have even better musical experience?
Highlighting the performance will be the display of paintings on a large screen on stage by Thayer Academy art students as the orchestra performs the music that inspired those art works. Also, ballerina Alexandra Storch who danced in recent production of Boston Ballet's "The Nutcracker" will perform on stage.
After the performance, meet the musicians and hear their instruments up close during a post-concert instrument showcase, bustling with music centered activities.
