Pictures at an Exhibition Youth Concert
Our annual Youth Concert will take place at the Coronado Theatre on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 10:30am.
Students from all grades are invited to learn about the instruments of the orchestra and hear the music of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in this field trip experience to the Coronado Performing Arts Center.
Teachers will be given access to a preparation curriculum guide for students, and parts of both the guide and the on-stage presentation will be given in Spanish.

For the performance of Pictures at an Exhibition we will be going on a gallery walk during the performance, viewing submitted student artwork that is a visual representation of the stories the music is telling. Though Mussorgsky had specific images in mind when composing these pieces, each person who hears the music will see a different story in their mind’s eye.
We want to hear from your students what stories they see when they hear this music, and we want to share them with others in the performance! You may pick a specific movement to focus on as a class or let each student pick the movement they connect with the most.
Artwork must be submitted no later than Wednesday, April 3, 2024 to be considered for the performance.
We look forward to showcasing the artwork of your students!
