Elementary Concerts
A Great Way to Introduce Your Students to Music
3.3.2026 | 9:15 & 10:45 a.m.
Grace Church, 3626 Highway 31, Racine
Annually, each March, hundreds of Racine-area fourth graders attend two Racine Symphony Orchestra concerts that introduce them to the various instruments in the orchestra, classical orchestral music, conducting, and other aspects of this centuries-old musical tradition.
The RSO will be performing Peter and the Wolf Op. 67, by Sergei Prokofiev. Peter and the Wolf is considered a “symphonic tale for children”, and is a programmatic musical composition written in 1936. The narrator tells a Russian folk tale, which the orchestra illustrates by using different instruments to play a “theme” that represents each character in the story.
We are working with the Racine Theatre Guild to have one of their actors narrate this treasured story this year!
These concerts are open and free to the public. If your school is interested in participating, please contact the office at info@racinesymphony.org for more information.
