MYSTERIES OF SOUND REVEALED!
CALLING ALL SLEUTHS – there are mysteries to be solved!
MYSTERY #1 - How does a French horn sound? A bassoon, clarinet, bass, cello,
violin, trombone, trumpet, or oboe? When we listen to music on our iPhones,
iPods, computers, TVs and at the movie theatre we hear sounds, but do we know the
instruments they come from? MYSTERY #2 - How can we learn about instruments,
music and musicians? MYSTERY #3 - And how do all the sounds come together to
make music? Let the Vancouver Island Symphony reveal the answers to these
mysteries on Saturday, November 16 with their increasingly popular Symphony
Community Day – it’s FREE!
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ZOO (11 a.m. - 12 noon) – Mystery #1
Revealed
So you’ve always wanted to know what it feels and sounds
like to play a trumpet? Come along and find out. Symphony musicians will be in
the lobby of the Port Theatre to help kids huff and puff and have a blow, zing
some strings and pull a bow, make a toot or have a hoot, or try some rhythm
with percussion precision. Many a musician will declare that all it took was
someone showing them an instrument for them to decide and declare that was what
they wanted to be when they grew up - a violinist, cellist, flutist, trumpeter,
etc.
NOTEWORTHYKIDS FAMILY EVENT (11:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.) –
Mystery #2 Revealed
The VI Symphony has fans! They are the NoteworthyKids Music
Fan Club. At the NoteworthyKids Family Event you can find out about
NoteworthyKids adventures, about how they meet and learn about a musician and
their instrument, and about the benefits of being a member of the club. But,
there‘s a mystery not being revealed here – and that is who the musician of the
day will be. You will have to come to the Family Event to find out.
SYMPHONY REHEARSAL (12:30 - 1:30 p.m.) – Mystery #3 Revealed
Find a seat in the theatre, take in a symphony rehearsal,
and watch as all the musicians and their instruments come together to make
music. The conductor, Maestro Pierre Simard, will gesture with his baton and
work with the musicians and guest artist to change a phrase here, add an expression
there, to give the music just the right feel, ready for the concert that
evening!
So bring along your sleuthing friends and family, and anyone
who loves solving mysteries. FREE TICKETS must be reserved for the Symphony
Rehearsal by calling 250-754-8550. Donations towards the NoteworthyKids Music
Fan Club are welcomed.
