The Sounds of Water

Water, water everywhere!  Did you know that more than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water? It’s no wonder then that oceans, seas and rivers have inspired composers past and present.   All of the pieces on this year’s concert for students in Grades 3-5 are connected to bodies of water, large and small, throughout the world!   As students learn about the critical role water plays as part of their classroom earth science and environmental classroom curricula, they’ll also gain an additional perspective of the role water plays in the music and the arts.
