HURON — The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra’s Dakota String Quartet will visit Huron on Wednesday and Thursday for interactive educational performances for students from preschool to high school, with an additional show for nursing home residents.
The 30-45 minute Classroom Connections concerts, sponsored by First Premier Bank/Premier Bankcard and the South Dakota Arts Council, bring members of the Dakota String Quartet and Dakota Wind Quintet to classrooms across South Dakota for interactive age-appropriate programs. Elementary-aged students are introduced to the instruments, learn basic musical concepts and listen to short musical excerpts performed by the ensembles.
Middle school and high school students have the opportunity for instrument coaching, sectional work or higher level performances by ensemble members.
“The idea is to bring live music where the students live,” says SDSO Concertmaster and violinist Doosook Kim.
