Area parents are encouraged to
bring their young children to a dynamic, fun,
and entertaining Symphony Storytime with Percussion at
the Bozeman Public Library’s Community Room during their regular Toddler and
Preschool Storytime on Wednesday, April 10, at 10:15 a.m.
The free Bozeman Symphony program, especially designed for
children ages 3 to 5, features Bozeman Symphony Principal Timpanist Jeffrey Vick playing
a variety of percussion instruments to accompany Montana Shakespeare in
the Parks actor Emma Rathe as she reads a storybook.
Following the story, Vick will also play a brief piece highlighting the snare
drum.
The goal of Symphony Storytime is to encourage a love of music,
literacy, and discovery, according to Education and Community Engagement
Coordinator Cierra Wallace. Collaborating with various community partners, the
Symphony wants to expose children to diverse stories, cultures, authors,
narrative styles, readers, instruments, music, and musicians. Bozeman
HRDC Head Start students will hear the story the same day.
The next Symphony Storytime program is scheduled at the Library on
June 12. For more information, visit www.bozemansymphony.org or call 406-585-9774.
