Be on the lookout for hungry tanukis and magical violins as the Arapahoe Phil and the Japanese Arts Network take your students on a journey to Japan and back! We’ll learn about traditional Japanese instruments, the instruments of the orchestra, and how our differences make us stronger! This show is appropriate for students ages 5-12 and includes interactive song and dance. 

Teacher’s packet with student activities is available here!

The Arapahoe Philharmonic has a deep commitment to music education, and educating our children and youth is an integral part of our mission. Colorado State Music Standards 3 (Theory of Music) and 4 (Aesthetic Valuation of Music) will be the educational focus of the concert. We believe the Arapahoe Philharmonic has the most hands-on children’s concert in the south Denver metro area.
