"Discovery: Music!" Creating Interactive Concerts that Engage, Entertain, and Educate

Clinic Synopsis:

Since 2003, Lawrence Stoffel has produced a concert series entitled, “Discovery: Music!” These annual, interactive concerts for band introduce students of all ages, parents, and even seasoned concert goers to the joys of music. In the tradition of Leonard Bernstein’s “Young People’s Concerts” and Wynton Marsalis’ “Marsalis on Music,” these discovery concerts reveal universal themes in music by focusing on both the intrigue of creating music and the fulfillment found in listening to music.
