Adopt-a-Player

Students explore the joys of creating and performing their own musical work, led by an ESO musician! Your adopted musician will visit your school and collaborate with teaching staff to guide students through the process of creating an original piece of music. Students then perform their composition on-stage at the Winspear Centre in May.

PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE

Open to all Gr. 4-6 classes who attend an Education Concert in February. Program runs from January to May 2023. Up to ten classes are selected per year.

Application deadline: December 1, 2022
Showcase Concert: May 7, 2023

• school administrator and staff endorsement is an asset
