Learn about bows, bridges, pegs, and why the giant bass sounds so low at the Music Conservatory of Westchester’s first Kids on Central concert of the season, “The String Family,” on Saturday, January 30 at 3 p.m. “The String Family” offers children a fun, informative, and hands-on introduction to the orchestra’s largest section – the strings. Each Kids on Central concert includes instrument demonstrations by a member of the Conservatory’s distinguished faculty, as well as a musical storytelling activity with music performed by Conservatory students. “The String Family” features student performers Eugene Bender and Angela Griffin, violins; Priscilla Martinez, viola; Matthew Holt, cello; and Michael Martinez, double bass; in a performance of Aesop’s “City Mouse, Country Mouse.” The musical story will be narrated by voice student Emma Boisitz, with voice students Victoria Ryckman and Nora Mark as the mice.
Prior to each concert, starting at 2:00 p.m., children also have the opportunity to see, touch, and try out the different instruments. The hands-on string instrument display will be provided by Atelier of Greenwich, CT. Performances are held in the Conservatory’s Helen Demetrios and Michael Stadther Recital Hall. Tickets are $15; $10 for students and senior citizens; and free for Conservatory students and faculty. Get your tickets below.
