Lucas Richman, Music Director and Conductor for the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, has made it his mission to instill in young children the awareness of music as an integral part of their lives. This year’s concert theme is “Belonging”. The symphony orchestra is made up of many musicians, each of whom plays an important part in bringing a composer’s music to life. Maestro Richman will guide us through a program that demonstrates how each of those individual parts belong together, like the threads of a larger musical fabric.

Program:

Nancy Galbraith                    A Festive Violet Pulse 

Henry Purcell                         Rondeau from Abdelazer Suite

Benjamin Britten                  Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra 

Winner of the Maine High School Concerto Competition, TBD on February 21, 2026

Johann Strauss II                   Excerpt from The Blue Danube

John Williams                         Liberty Fanfare 

This 50 minute education and music program is supplemented with an instructional packet for students and teachers providing information about the orchestra and the selections that will be featured. Concerts are open to public, private, and homeschooled children.

Tickets are $3 per person, for both students and chaperones. Tickets are first come, first serve.
