Field Trips 2011-12

Al Simmons - Sounds Crazy Grades K-7
Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011 at 9:30 (1 hour)

Take part in a musical exploration of junk with Juno Award-winner Al Simmons as he demonstrates, with hilarious results, how the various instruments of a symphony orchestra make music in his renowned school show: Sounds Crazy.

Al Simmons-cut-out

The principals of sound waves, vibrations, resonance and pitch are clearly explained as Al plays his bizarre, homemade versions of stringed, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments.

Rainbow Fish Grades K-3
Friday, March 9, 2012 * 9:30 & 11:00 a.m. * 55 minutes

ArtsPower presents Marcus Pfister’s The Rainbow Fish, which has delighted children since 1992. With her lovely coloring and shimmering scales, the Rainbow Fish is used to being the most beautiful creature in the ocean. So when the other fish ask her for some silver scales, she refuses. How can she sacrifice the one thing that makes her so unique? The Rainbow Fish soon learns that the path to true friendship can be found through generosity.

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, one of America's finest, will bring to life for your students a repertory respectful of ballet's rich and varied history and show them to how that tradition can be used in innovative, new work.

Celtic Crossroads Grades K-12

Unlike anything you've ever seen, seven traditional Irish artists will explode on the Arts Center’s stage in a heart-pounding performance of Irish music and dance. They will use more than 20 instruments to fuse diverse musical genres from N. American bluegrass to jazz to Eastern European Gypsy. It’s a thoroughly entertaining and educational program that demonstrates the cultural influences of Irish rhythms in today’s American song.
