Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra presents Conversations With Music for Irving ISD 4th Graders, September 15 through September 26, 2014 at 8:15AM and 9:15AM at various Irving ISD Elementary Schools.

Irving, TX (September 15-19 and September 22-26, 2014) The Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra begins its Conversations With Music program for 4th graders at Irving ISD Elementary School.
 
Conversations With Music for Irving ISD
 
“For our society to move forward, for our culture to survive, fine arts education must remain strong. We already know that kids who study music do better in physics and math. Teaching the fine arts is a rounding of the whole development of the student.”
- Representative Rob Eissler, House Public Education Committee Chair
 
 
Established in 2011, these concerts are a part of an age-specific, arts integrated curriculum designed to enhance and supplement the arts education programs of the participating school district.   This project works through teacher/school partnerships and culminates with a presentation by a small group of Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra musicians for elementary students in Irving ISD. The Conversations with Music program creates a platform for learning through creative discovery and enhances the development of critical skills that will be useful to the students in all learning endeavors.
 
The purpose of Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra's Conversations with Music is to educate, inspire and entertain young students by acquainting them with the orchestra, introducing them to a classical and popular music, as well as interest them in creating music and appreciating quality music throughout their lives.
 
Students attending this year’s Conversations with Music will be swept away on a musical adventure featuring excerpts from Mozart’s Eine Klein Nacht Musik, Shostakovich’s Trio for violin, piano, and cello, and popular favorites from television and movies.
 
The mission of the Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra is to bring a fully professional ensemble of musicians dedicated to excellence in the performance of symphonic music and to the cultural enrichment of the dynamically growing Las Colinas corporate and residential communities, as well as to patrons throughout Irving and adjacent cities. The LCSO seeks to present concerts for the community of the highest artistic quality of symphonic music for all ages. It also seeks to foster an appreciation of orchestral music and to further the performing arts.
 
 
The Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra credits its Music Director, Robert Carter Austin for its continued outstanding and diverse orchestral programming.    Maestro Austin’s background encompasses over 30 years of professional music experience and includes degrees from MIT, Cambridge University, and Stanford University.  Maestro Austin’s musical experience includes conducting performances in countries including: Korea, Ukraine, Canada, Italy, Spain, China, France, Germany, Mexico, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Colombia, Philippines, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and the United States.
