Detroit Symphony Orchestra | Educational Concert Series Watch Party - Story Telling Through Music and Dance @detroitsymphony | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
As schools across Michigan and the United States closed due to the pandemic, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra curated virtual Educational Concerts to support teachers and students navigating remote music education.

“Storytelling through Music and Dance” explores how musical rhythms and melodies provide structure for dancers and create a sense of place for dance audiences. Check out our Student Mini-Guide for the performance, with accompanying lessons and activities, here: bit.ly/2CtSbQE
