**This class is exclusive to students Grades 6-12. The same class is offered for adults on the same day from 12:00pm - 2:00pm.**
The Porch is thrilled to continue its partnership with the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra (NPO), a volunteer community orchestra that brings free performances to a wide variety of audiences throughout the year. In this special one-day workshop, we’ll listen to excerpts from Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, which will be performed by the NPO in their upcoming concert series on October 6th and 8th. The instructor will guide you as you write sensory and emotional responses to the music. At the end, you’ll have the option to share these responses to be printed and displayed at the NPO concert venues. This workshop is designed for listeners and writers of all levels, and no prior knowledge of classical music is required!
