On Tuesday, February 21st, the Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra will take their performance on the road and showcase their talent at area schools.  The Music-to-Go Tour is an annual event that brings orchestral literature to elementary school students in the Rutherford County area.  The orchestra will begin this year’s tour with a concert at Bradley Academy, located at 511 Mercury Boulevard.  They will move on to Erma Siegel Elementary School, located at 135 West Thompson Lane and end the afternoon at Scales Elementary, located at 2340 St. Andrews Drive.

The Music-to-Go Tour introduces children to live orchestral performances at no charge to the children.  The tour is designed to get children excited about music and give them the opportunity to experience a live orchestral performance.  The students learn about all of the sections of the orchestra and are exposed to music from different cultures through the orchestra’s performance and interaction with the students.  The Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra members range in ages from 9 – 18 years old.  The members of the orchestra provide a positive role model for the younger children who want to get involved in music.

The Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra is always dedicated to providing quality educational experiences for the children of Rutherford County and surrounding areas.  The Music-to-Go Tour is another way for the orchestra to achieve its mission.
