Digital Concerts
Orchestral Encounters Enveloped in Activity
Take a deep dive into orchestral music in a digital landscape this school year! Anchored by a digital concert from your Omaha Symphony, each unit has a choice board of age-appropriate auxiliary activities to invite creativity and critical thinking by your students whenever and wherever it aligns with curriculum and schedule.
Access to this content is completely free, but we do ask that each teacher register their own students so we can track data for funding purposes. Please complete a new registration form for each building you intend to stream content.
