Students Attend the Santa Cruz Symphony

04/29/23

Five students from The Bay School (TBS), our school program in California, had the opportunity to attend a performance by the Santa Cruz Symphony at the Santa Cruz Memorial Auditorium. The performance, entitled The Orchestra Sings, represented different styles of music from around the world and included selections from Beethoven, Nathalie Joachim, and Reena Esmail.

As part of the Symphony’s Link Up program, the event was preceded by a school visit from Norman Peck, Principal Percussion Chair with the Santa Cruz Symphony. Norman led a group of 15 TBS students through a discussion of musical instruments from around the world. Students had the opportunity to try out drums, symbols, blocks, rain sticks, and just about every other type of percussion instrument.

This visit marks the fifth year TBS has participated in this event—thank you to Norman and the Santa Cruz Symphony for this memorable experience!
