THE PROGRAM:

From the Earth to the Moon and Beyond!

Blast off to space with the ISO as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the moon landing! ISO Principal Trombone, James Beckel, has written a special piece just for this occasion, and it will be performed along with other “interstellar” works in this space-themed concert!

The Teacher Curriculum is a guide to help you prepare your students for a great concert experience and will be posted here and on our website when completed. It is connected to the National Music Standards, as well as, some Indiana State Standards. The Student Workbook, called The Score, features written activities and discussion starters for students.
