A big thank you goes to Craig Retzlaff and the Central Academy of Technology and Arts. CATA students, Charles Schomp and Gigi Smith, will perform science demonstrations during the concert.


What goes into making sounds? How do all of the different instruments in the orchestra work? What are the things that turn the science of noise into beautiful music? Come explore the inner scientific workings of the symphony in this family-friendly concert. We will explore vibration, pitch, amplification, and much more through the music of greats like Handel, Tchaikovsky, Copland, and all of their friends!
