Vento Chiaro is comfortable presenting educational programs to a variety of ages and with a variety of themes including:
[singlepic id=75 w=320 h=240 float=right]Peter and the Wolf, arranged for quintet and narrator
Pre-school to 5th Grade. Prokofiev’s classic tale Peter and the Wolf is a standard work in the concert repertoire. In this arrangement, an instrument in the woodwind quintet thoughtfully represents each character in the story. This program can be tailored to your needs based on age group, timing, and venue by including musical selections from our standard repertoire.
**This program does require a narrator, preferably a prominent member of the school or community, who is able to read music and participate in a rehearsal prior to the performance.
Timing: 45-60 minutes
Fee: $2500 (plus travel)
What is Chamber Music? is adaptable to any age range. This presentation, based on a variety of musical styles, is all about teamwork. Chamber music is a fun and entertaining way to demonstrate basic social skills such as working together, resolving differences of opinion and listening as well as musical skills such as breathing, starting, stopping and cuing. This program requires audience participation. Volunteers will be asked to start, stop, “control”, and help to develop the music. This encourages self-confidence, spontaneity and creativity, skills that are essential to our every day lives.
This program is also recommended for music program workshops.
Timing: 40-60 minutes
Fee: $1800-2500 (plus travel if over 30 miles)
Around the World with Woodwinds (Pre-School to 5th Grade) explores different cultures throughout the world through music. Students are invited to “travel” with the quintet as each instrument is featured and demonstrated at a different stop on our imaginary tour. The music in this program showcases popular children’s songs as well as classical music selections that highlight different cultures and their music.
Timing: 35-50 minutes
Fee: $1750-2000 (plus travel if over 30 miles)
