Music is a catalyst for a stronger, more connected community. That belief is at the heart of the Charlotte Symphony, and every day we provide exceptional musical experiences that inspire our community, plus programs that create new pathways of opportunity.
The Charlotte Symphony performs everywhere from community parks and schools to churches, breweries, and senior care centers. We are deeply committed to the notion that music, accessible to all and experienced in many forms, unifies our community.
Our mission is to nurture a passion for orchestral music in our community through diverse educational programming and excellent instruction.

This concert is part of the LINK UP series developed by and performed in partnership with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute (WMI). The concerts are highly participatory with students learning about orchestral repertoire through a yearlong, hands-on curriculum. Each program focuses on specific concepts, including, rhythm, melody, tempo, orchestration, and composition. Utilizing materials provided free-of-charge by WMI, teachers guide students in exploring music through the composer’s lens, with students participating in active music-making. This yearlong program completes with having the opportunity to sing, play the recorder, and move with the orchestra from their seats.
This year’s theme is The Orchestra Rocks. One universal element of music is rhythm. Composers and musicians play with elements of musical time, creating patterns of sound and silence that are expressive and exciting. A consistent groove can unite musicians, singers, and audiences in an experience of listening and performing together. Through the Link Up repertoire, hands-on activities, and a culminating interactive performance with a professional orchestra, we will discover how the orchestra rocks.
We strongly encourage all Link Up teachers to attend our PD Workshop on October 12th, 2019, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m at University Park Creative Arts School (2400 Hildebrand St. Charlotte, NC 28216). This workshop will be led by Crystal Briley, Link Up Teaching Artist and CMS music teacher. At the workshop we will delve into The Orchestra Rocks theme by discussing the repertoire, how to teach the curriculum, Carnegie’s wealth of online resources, and what to expect on concert day. All participating teachers will receive a certificate of completion that can be used towards CEU credit.
