Link Up is a hands-on music program for students grades 3-5 that prepares them to sing, dance and play recorders or string instruments in a culminating concert along with their very own SLSO at Powell Hall. This year’s program, The Orchestra Moves, focuses on how music moves through space and time and how, in turn, it can move us both physically and emotionally.
