Community Programs
Musicology Mixology
Formerly known as Preludes, the Greensboro Symphony’s pre-concert talks, Musicology Mixology, share insights into the Masterworks program. Music Director Dmitry Sitkovetsky and the guest artist join in at the beginning of each presentation.
Musicology Mixology is held in the Koury Room on the third floor of the Tanger Center on the evening of each Masterworks concert. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. with the lecture component beginning at 7:00 p.m., prior to the 8:00 p.m. concert. A specialty cocktail tied to the concert program is available for purchase for each concert, and audience members can enjoy the concert even more by learning unique details about the works to be performed.
Frequent guest musicologists include Dr. Gregory Carroll, Dr. David Nelson, Dr. Joan Titus and Dr. Lorena Guillen of UNCG, and Dr. Wendy Looker of Guilford College.
CaringSound
CaringSound: A Community Partnership of the Greensboro Symphony and The Women’s and Children’s Center of The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital. This exciting program provides weekly visits by Symphony musicians to Cone Health’s pediatrics unit. Music is played for patients, creating opportunities for expression and socialization, while providing relief for stressed and concerned family members.
Additionally, CaringSound features performances in retirement communities and hospitals by the Greensboro Symphony Woodwind, Brass, String, and Percussion ensembles. Concerts take place in the Spring and offer audience members the opportunity to meet musicians and ask questions.
Music Therapy at the Juvenile Detention Center
The Juvenile Detention Center is a secure facility where a juvenile stays while waiting to go to court or until a placement can be arranged. At the Center, the Greensboro Symphony provides small ensemble performances, group hand drumming sessions, and music for events such as high school graduations within the facility.
