VSO SymphonyKids Orchestral Youth Concerts

Original Orchestral Youth Concerts are presented annually in Burlington and tour the state every other year.  These high energy presentations feature excerpts from world premieres written for the VSO by Vermont composers; samplings of traditional music and sources of inspiration; and a performance by a guest youth soloist.  The tour crisscrosses the state from Newport to Barre, Rutland to Manchester, reaching more than 5,500 enthusiastic school children along the way.

To broaden the experience of a VSO orchestral youth concert, advance teacher materials are provided to enrich lesson plans and prepare students for what they will learn at each show. Below are pdf documents from some of our past shows. Please feel free to download and use in your classroom (whether or not you are bringing a class to one of our concerts!).
