The North Carolina Symphony will present a free “Instrument Zoo” at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre for the Arts, 405 S. Brooks St., on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 10 a.m.
Geared for children pre-K through second grade, this hands-on musical activity will feature NC Symphony percussionist Matt Decker providing an interactive demonstration of the instruments of the orchestra.
Attendees will learn how percussion instruments make their sounds and hear examples of classical and popular music composed for single instruments and the full orchestra. Following Decker’s interactive demonstration, audience members will have the opportunity to try their favorite instrument in the instrument zoo.
This Music Discovery program is sponsored by PNC’s “Grow Up Great” initiative, promoting literacy and arts education for preschoolers and their families.
