The Lima Symphony Orchestra wrapped up another successful season of their storytime program.
Their final program of the year was at the historic Brumback Library in Van Wert Tuesday morning. The Symphony Storytime takes a group of musicians around to libraries in Allen County and the surrounding area to combine the love of reading and music into a program focused on a specific topic. In the final program of the year, the students were learning about opposites. To help with the program, musicians played violins and a cello. The Symphony Storytime travels to numerous libraries throughout their season, to help spread a different type of music education to area kids.
“I think there is a real need for this kind of educational program in a lot of these counties because schools can only do so much, and they can only introduce you to so many ideas and concepts during the school year,” says Renee Keller, Lima Symphony Orchestra’s Marketing and Education Coordinator. “So this is a great opportunity for kids to get a little bit more of a closer, sort of intimate look at music.”
The next season of the Symphony Storytime program will start back up in September.
