Connecting with Kids!

The quartet has designed programs that introduce students to chamber music by tying the string quartet repertoire to their curriculum in subjects relevant to the students’ studies. Chinese folklore-based programs, and music offerings that enhance and enlighten Geography studies and studies of American and African-American History, are some of the projects that Carpe Diem is cultivating. In particular, Carpe Diem is developing programs that relate to core subjects that area students concentrate on for mandatory proficiency tests in their school curriculum. The quartet is actively engaged in creative development of age appropriate programs for students K-12.
