Ahoy, mateys! Join the OSS Symphonica and the daring Captain Canon as they set sail on a high-seas musical adventure! With the map in hand and the fabled Bizetbeard's Baton in sight, our crew will explore the wonders of pitch, tempo, dynamics, and rhythm. This interactive concert is perfect for young buccaneers and budding musicians. Come aboard and discover the treasure of music!

Mission Imagination combines a child’s love of storytelling with the power of symphonic music in an up-close and playful setting. Students aren’t just part of the audience, they’re part of the action, making this a one-of-a-kind learning adventure.

Handmade instruments are not only encouraged but highly recommended for this mission!

Iowa Schools should register for the IWCC dates through the Arts Center. Please call 712-388-7140 for more information.
