Link Up
Link Up brings great repertoire and hands-on music learning from the classroom to the concert hall. This highly participatory program is designed by Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute. All fourth grade music classes in Auburn School District and Muckleshoot Tribal School will be provided curriculum for a high quality and fun music education program. The culminating performance gives students the opportunity to sing, play, and dance along with Auburn Symphony Orchestra, performing the music they have practiced throughout the year.
