Symphony Safari (4th Grade Concert) presented by Black Hills Energy

Every January, the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra presents a Symphony Safari concert for all fourth grade students in the Rapid City Area Schools. This concert introduces students to the sights and sounds of the orchestra while teaching them acceptable behavior in a traditional concert setting. This concert is also meant to give students an insight on the type of instrument they may choose to play in the next year of school. Several students are selected to come on stage and conduct the orchestra during several pieces. Many older high school students who play in the orchestra are available to talk to the younger students and inspire them to make music a part of their lives.
