Elementary School Concerts
Every year, all third and fourth grade students in the Piedmont region hear a dynamicprogram by the full Greensboro Symphony Orchestra. The Elementary School Concertspresent exciting works of orchestral music. The Elementary 
School Concerts serve students from the Guilford, Alamance-Burlington, Asheboro, Randolph, Reidsville, and Caswell County school systems.
These concerts frequently include multimedia presentations and collaborations with the Greensboro Ballet. In addition to theconcert experience, students and teachers receive educational resources and curricular materials that support the concert theme.
