The Teddy Bear Concert Series introduces preschool & kindergarten students (ages 3-7) to the orchestra through story, movement, and live music. ISO violinist, Victoria Griswold, has written each of our stories, one of which is now a picture book! Each performance features five musicians from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and narration by Perry Accetturo of the ISO Learning Community.
We are thrilled to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Teddy Bear Concert Series by performing all of our stories throughout the 2018-19 season!
OUR TEDDY BEAR SERIES STORIES
The Giant’s Violin tells the tale of a young boy who discovers a giant violin in his attic!
The Big Note features the adventures of a young boy as he searches through a symphony orchestra to find the source of the big note that he hears.
The Garden Symphony follows a ladybug’s search through the garden for her own special song.
(The Garden Symphony is also available as a picture book!)
Monkey’s Jungle Jam is the adventure-filled tale of a spider monkey’s search through the rainforest for musical friends. Children will be invited to hop like frogs and sway like trees while they listen to unusual instruments from the symphony orchestra.
