Each season, the Civic Symphony of Green Bay is pleased to offer our “Music for Young Listeners” concert, a morning concert program specifically designed to educate and entertain young listeners. In February 2027, we’re returning to The Weidner to appear as part of their Stage Doors educational series. We look forward to filling The Weidner with students from local school groups and homeschools in our community!
2027 Concert Details
Date: Friday, February 26, 2027
Time: 10:00-11:00 a.m.
Location: The Weidner, 2420 Nicolet Dr, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Theme: The Planets
For centuries, people have looked into space and tried to make sense of the universe. Gustav Holst wrote “The Planets” to bring his idea of each planet’s personality to the orchestral stage. The Civic Symphony of Green Bay is collaborating with Neville Public Museum Astronomical Society to bring you planetary information and pictures from space to accompany the music for a truly out-of-this-world experience.
The concert will be 60 minutes total, with 45 minutes of music plus a 15-minute Q&A session. The orchestra will also perform a longer version of this concert in the evening for the public.
Classroom Visits/Presentation
Schools: Musicians from the orchestra are available for classroom visits in advance of the concert to introduce the music, demonstrate instruments, and meet students. Members of the NPMAS are also available for school visits. Please indicate your desire to have either group visit your school on the registration form. We’ll work with you and our volunteers to schedule a convenient time. If you already submitted your registration and later want to add a classroom visit, just send an email to education@gbcivic.org.
Homeschools: Please see our YouTube channel for a series of educational presentations with musicians from the orchestra with instrument demonstrations and Q&A. You can view these videos at your convenience.
