Concerts For Teachers and Students
For more than 80 years, the Education Concerts Series (ECS) has introduced classical music to metro-Detroit school children with concerts featuring interactive programs for children in grades 3-12. For the 2009-2010 season, participating teachers receive access to concert recordings and a Teacher Resource Guide to aid in class preparation. Performances last approximately 45-50 minutes and take place in Orchestra Hall.
