Event Description:

The Santa Cruz County Symphony Presents
“Music in Motion” Family Concert on Sunday, March 2

Featuring works by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Leonard Bernstein, Santa Cruz Ballet Theatre Performs
Aaron Copland, and collaborative performances with the Santa Cruz Ballet Theatre, the Cabrillo Youth Chorus,
Santa Cruz County Youth Symphony and guitar / cajón duo Roberto & Ernesto Granados


Classical music can appeal to all ages, and the Santa Cruz County Symphony’s annual Family Concert, “Music in Motion,” is delightful proof. Held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, this performance marks the culmination of this season’s Youth & Education Program, which has been introducing local children to classical music since 1966.

The program includes Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G minor, Leonard Bernstien’s ‘Mambo’ from West Side Story, Aaron Copland’s ‘Hoe-Down’ from Rodeo, Borodin’s ‘Polovtsian Dances’ from Prince Igor, and Tchaikovsky’s ‘Sleeping Beauty Waltz’ and ‘Russian Dance’ from Prince Igor, and Barrio del Morao – a work both composed and performed by the classical guitar and cajón duo Roberto & Ernesto Granados. To liven things up with something more recognizable to younger audiences, the orchestra will also perform the theme to Pirates of the Caribbean, reminding audiences that orchestral music is something familiar we hear in many movies that we watch.

In addition to these eight lively pieces chosen specifically to entertain and enthrall young and old alike, the Family Concert also features dancers from Santa Cruz Ballet Theatre, the Cabrillo Youth Chorus and the classical guitar and cajón duo Roberto & Ernesto Granados. Tickets for this performance are heavily subsidized through sponsorship and start at just $8 (plus service fees).

The concert seeks to show young people that playing an instrument in an ensemble can be fun. Young musicians of the Santa Cruz County Youth Symphony have the opportunity to play in a professional orchestra and give a visual role model for future musicians to be in the audience. The Family Concert concludes with an opportunity to “Meet the Instruments,” an on-stage event for children to talk to orchestra members and sample playing a wide assortment of orchestral instruments.
