Field Trip: Jackson Symphony Open Rehearsal {Jackson}
The Jackson Symphony is holding several Open Rehearsal student matinee concerts this season that are free to the public. I love classical music and introduced my children to it early in life. It was not until they began participating in orchestra and band that they really began to appreciate that style of music. Now, they are hooked.
There are several opportunities for you to enjoy a morning with your children listening to classical music presented by the Jackson Symphony. Students will learn about the orchestra, the instruments and how everything comes together for a magnificent performance.
