As a result of this program local 4th and 5th grade students will experience an exposure to orchestra music through attendance at a live children's orchestra concert. Also, as a result of this program, young music students will experience increased appreciation of personal music practice and increased motivation to continue participating in music through hearing the Hamrin sisters perform Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante” and William’s “Schindler’s List” at the Lincoln Portrait concert.
