Knoxville — The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will perform for more than 8,400 elementary students during the Sheena McCall Young People’s Concerts at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1-2.
There are four performances: Wednesday, Oct. 31 at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 1 at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and Friday, Nov. 2 at 9:30.
The 9:30 a.m. shows on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are sold out, as the KSO hosts more than 2,300 students at each.
The symphony recommends the 11 a.m. show for home-school students and say the 9:30 a.m. shows offer excellent photo and video opportunities.
All shows are about 45 minutes long and feature the entire Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.
The 2018 Young People's Concerts will use the theme “What’s Your Story?” to explore the elements that combine to make a story including setting, character and plot and the ways that music can represent each of these elements.
