Education Concerts
For Grades K - 6 | New Dates Added
Join us for 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 with the Alberta curriculum in mind, educators will receive a comprehensive study guide with ready-made lesson plans and activities before the concert to prepare students for the repertoire performed in the concert. Have fun experiencing real-world applications of musical learning objectives and bring your class this year for this memorable field trip.
If you are booking both Division 1 and Division 2 concerts, please put each booking request in a separate order.

Sarah T. Murdoch is a curious eight-year-old girl who isn’t looking forward to her school’s field trip to the symphony. She is sure that M stands for Meh, not music. There are ZERO Jellyfish at the Winspear Centre and not a single dinosaur. But could music be its own adventure? In this delightful introduction to the symphony, Sarah explores the big questions: What is music for? Where does it come from? And is fancy-schmancy orchestra music really for everyone? Let your imagination be captivated by the ESO while following along on Sarah’s adorable musical journey!
