Do you ever wonder how a composer puts notes together for a piece of music?
This year, the Greenwich Symphony Orchestra invites students to hear Gregory Smith’s narrated work for orchestra, Mr. Smith’s Bowl of Notes. Through this narrated piece, Mr. Smith and the GSO will take them on a musical journey that surveys major works from each of these time periods, learning how music of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern periods is composed using only twelve notes.
This will be the GSO’s first time performing this piece for our Greenwich students!
