Calgary Philharmonic musicians and Associate Conductor Karl Hirzer are taking kids on a fun and educational tour of the Orchestra they can experience from home. An Orchestra Adventure (with Maestro Karl and Friends) is an online series providing a musical journey through the four sections that make up a symphony orchestra: woodwinds, strings, brass, and percussion. Along the way, children will encounter different instruments and some of the musicians who play them, as well as take a few side trips to discover interesting facts about music and famous composers. The webisodes go live on Tuesdays: Sensational Strings on June 2, Brilliant Brass on June 16, and Playful Percussion on June 30.
