On Wednesday, our class traveled to the Young People's Concert at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center. The performance was fantastic with art, acting, and music combined. First, the ballerina came out and jumped almost as high as the ceiling! Her name was Maddy Faust and she danced to a song called "Aragonaise" from Carmen. The orchestra included some of our favorite instruments such as tubas, clarinets, bassoons, and flutes. The conductor's name was Joan Landry. She was waving her baton like a tree in a hurricane. She also educated us about music and the arts. Then there was a singer named Tom Walsh and he sang "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha. His voice was very big and low. We thought it was so loud that he could be heard all the way from China!
Many of us enjoyed the performance including a song from Harry Potter that started off with three child actors doing the opening scene of the train station and heading to Hogwart's. We were surprised by their acting abilities because they were just about our age.
During some of the songs we saw pictures of both abstract and figurative artwork that young children had created. We like abstract art the best! The whole performance was inspiring because it seemed to have the common theme of "Believe in yourself, and you can do anything!!!"
