“This performance often serves as students’ first concert experience and provides them with the opportunity to apply the musical concepts they have studied ,” the ASO said.

The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra is one of more than 70 organizations chosen for the program.

Students participate in The Orchestra Rocks with Sinfonia Gulf Coast in Destin, FL. More than 2,500 students attended the two concerts, which were held on April 28, 2016.
