A2SO Teacher Welcome GuideMarch 19th, 2019

10:15 am | 12:15 pmHill Auditorium

Teachers-

We are so excited to have you celebrating our 90th season by joining us for our March 2019 Link Up con-cert, The Orchestra Moves! We hope that the new life we’ve brought to this program will show your students how music can move them. In a world where so many things divide us we hope this experience connects your students. We hope as they are “linked up” with the musicians, with our community, and with each other that they can build lasting connections between the music and their hearts. Please use this booklet as a guide to allow Link Up to support your work in the classroom. All of these materials are available on our new website at: www.a2so.com/link-up/.

Thank you,

Kira Woodfi eld Leeper Yi-Ching ChenEducation & Engagement Manager Education & Volunteer Coordinatorkira@a2so.com yiching@a2so.com
