Charlotte and the Music Maker - Edmonton Symphony at the Winspear

Charlotte is no ordinary little girl. She plays the trumpet on a cardboard tube, the xylophone with two knitting needles and the drums on anything that bangs. However, her musical talents are not appreciated at home, where everyone is far too busy to listen to her brilliance, so she sets off into the wide world only to find herself lost in a raging blizzard. A strange little man known as the Music-Maker comes to the rescue as he takes Charlotte on a magical musical journey through the orchestra, exploring the sounds and colours of the instruments and the exciting possibilities that music has to offer.

An engaging learning experience rooted in the beauty of a live performance at the Winspear Centre. Education Concerts introduce elementary students to the exciting world of symphonic music with the opportunity to see and hear the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra performing specially programmed concerts filled with a wide-range of musical concepts.

Designed to educate and entertain, an optional comprehensive study guide with ready-made lesson plans and activities will be emailed out before the concert to help prepare students for the repertoire performed in the concert. Have fun experiencing real-world applications of musical learning.
