Melody is one of the universal elements of music and defines the music we know and love. A great melody can express ideas and emotions, help tell a story, and bring people together through song. Composers create melodies through a combination of rhythmic patterns, sweeping contours, and expressive qualities. Through the Carnegie Hall Link Up repertoire, hands-on activities, and a culminating interactive performance with a professional orchestra, we will explore what makes a melody great. Adult: $10, Student/Child: $7. https://chattanoogasymphony.org/events/the-orchestra-sings-young-peoples-concert-2024-02-07-1000-am/
