The Education Committee, Co-chaired by Bill Eisenbarth and Wilhelmine Fischer, organizes an educational component to the March Symphony concert each season. The theme for the March 8, 2008 concert is From the New World. Through the month of February, musicians from the CVS will visit third grade music classes in public and parochial schools in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Altoona. Their instruments will be explained and demonstrated and lively discussion always follows. A total of 1,100 third graders will learn more about the orchestra through these presentations. Students will receive a voucher for a free ticket to attend the concert with a paying adult. Art students also get involved. Students create art works inspired by selections of symphonic music from the March concert. The gallery at the State will display a selection of the student's work from March 3-14, 2008. The Education Committee can use volunteers, especially in the months before the March concert, to help with these projects. If you are interested in being a part of this program, please contact the Symphony office.
