The Orchestra Moves - Family Concert 3/10/2019 2:00 PM - 3/10/2019 4:30 PM

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 19:55:41 GMT

By any definition, music moves. Melody, rhythm, and harmony all shift, develop, and transform. When an orchestra plays for us, we may notice more than one kind of movement. On the outside, we can hear sounds move as the musicians alter their pitches, rhythms, and dynamics. We can see the musicians’ bodies move as they play. On the inside, we may feel our emotions moving and changing in response to the music we hear. Sometimes music might even create a sense of physical movement as sounds become heavier or lighter, rise up or tumble down. Through the Link Up repertoire and an interactive performance with a professional orchestra, we will discover how The Orchestra Moves!

During his time in Congress, he has fought for immigration reform, the continued protection of our pristine coastline and environment, affordable and accessible health care, to ensure that our agriculture industry and its farmers and farmworkers are taken care of, to reduce gun violence, for our military installations which are an integral part in our community and our country’s national security, and for our veterans to receive the benefits that they were promised and deserve. Through policy implementation in Congress and service to constituents, he remains committed to being that bridge for the people of the Central Coast to the federal government and its resources.
