Dear Educators,

The Delaware Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce the educational Explorer Concert Series for the 2011-2012 season. To reach more students in the state, once again we bring the DSO to Dover this season for our Explorer Concerts! These concerts are school-day, one hour long programs comprised of accessible, student-friendly classical favorites that provide an introduction to the orchestra and classical music. Students will have the unforgettable experience of hearing live music performed by a symphony orchestra.
