Like a train conductor guiding travelers, a musical conductor can transport us to exciting places using rhythm, melody, and imagination—just with the flick of a baton or the wave of an arm. Conductor Ana María Patiño-Osorio steers us through a thrilling ride on Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileira, a stormy sea voyage through Scheherazade, a festive dance-filled adventure across Spain and Mexico, and more.
John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine kicks off the morning with the entire orchestra boogying along to the steadfast clack of a woodblock before bolting off into a joyful fanfare. Through colorful sounds and lively pieces, we’ll discover how the conductor leads us on a journey and keeps all the musicians on track.
The Symphonies for Schools Elementary program invites students from throughout Los Angeles to experience interactive concerts that incorporate theatrical elements to contextualize the music. The in-person program includes free admission to a concert performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall for all students in grades 3–5.
We have offered these free concerts to hundreds of thousands of children since our first season in 1919 and look forward to welcoming you into our tradition! Please direct any questions regarding programming, financial assistance, or other educational opportunities to [email protected].
