Students in Mrs. Ogden's and Ms. Walton's 2/3 class had an awesome opportunity to attend a concert on Friday, September 20th during school. The best part about the field trip was we didn't have to ride a bus, pay money, or miss any of our normal school routine! The concert was a live internet broadcast from Avery Elementary, in Hilliard City Schools! The performance ensemble we heard was Carpe Diem String Quartet. The group has a partnership with PNC Arts Alive to promote music concerts in school, and broadcast it online using USTREAM technology. Not only did we view part of the concert, students were able to ask questions via live chat with the composers as an audience member. The program was specifically called "Numbers" and focused on how musicians and composers utilize math and numeric patterns. You can even see our chat dialogue from Mrs. Ogden's class, and the response we get back! We have been learning about instrument families and it was a great chance to see and hear string instruments in a live venue, as well as meet a real composer. |
