2023 Steppin’ Out Concert Program – Straight Up Magic
Musorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition creates fascinating connections between sight and sound. From a ballet of chicks in their shells to the folklore character of Baba Yaga and the Great Gate of Kiev, this brilliant collection sparks the imagination. Along the way we explore together the music’s structure, captivating rhythms and melodies, colorful symphonic textures, and informative tie-ins with literature, history, and mathematics.
With Maestro Peter Jaffe as conductor and host, the Stockton Symphony’s Steppin’ Out series has provided highly educational and entertaining programs to enthusiastic young audiences for over two decades. Many thanks for your participation-and make sure to reserve space for your students soon!
