This concert is geared toward students late elementary and middle school, though the program is sure to be enjoyed by slightly younger and older students as well.

Two notorious “Pirates” have arrived at the show competing to find the buried treasure on their maps. They tell of their worldly adventures and the musical selections we hear reveal clues about where the treasure can be found.

A Teacher’s Guide is provided as a tool for teachers to use with students before arriving on concert day. It connects the music with hands-on activities to Language Arts, Social Studies, Art and other subjects.
