Music for Young Listeners Concert

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. We look forward to filling the Walter Theatre at St. Norbert College with students from local school groups and home schools in our community!

2024 Concert Details

Date: Friday, February 16, 2024

The 2024 concerts feature collaborations with the Suzuki Music Academy of Green Bay, De Pere Middle School Orchestra, East High School Orchestra, and the St. Norbert College String Orchestra.

PARKING

Help us plan ahead by letting us know if your group will arrive by bus or car. Buses will drop students off in front of the building and then park offsite. The parking lots are shared with St. Norbert College staff and students, so carpooling is very much appreciated. Please take your best guess/estimate for number of cars or buses.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS/PRESENTATIONS

In January, the Civic Symphony of Green Bay will provide a Learning Guide teachers may use in their classrooms to prepare students for the "Music for Young Listeners" concert. In addition, our musicians volunteer their time to travel to local schools for presentations and instrument demonstrations in January and February. For smaller/homeschool groups, we offer an in-person educational presentation at a library in the Green Bay area in early February (date/location to be determined). This library presentation will also be livestreamed and available for replay on our YouTube channel at your convenience.
