The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Young People’s Concerts introduce students to the excitement of live orchestral music through an engaging, curriculum-connected performance experience. Designed primarily for students in grades 3–5, these 45-minute concerts combine music, storytelling, audience participation, and visual elements to create a fun and memorable learning opportunity.
Each performance features narration, video projections, props, costumes, and guest artists that help bring the music to life. Participating schools also receive a Teacher’s Guide with lessons and activities aligned with Tennessee State Standards in Social Studies, Geography, and Music Education.
Young People’s Concerts are available to public schools, private schools, and homeschool co-ops throughout East Tennessee. Students in grades 6–8 are also welcome to attend Knoxville performances.
