Nashua HEAR(s) debuts October 27 in Nashua's middle school

On Monday, October 27, all 6th-graders in the Nashua school district were treated to a visit from Nashua Symphony Music Director Jonathan McPhee, along with several musicians from the orchestra. Mr. McPhee and the players used music to illustrate themes of genre and structure in literature, which students are studying in their Language Arts classes. Students looked at the story of Coriolanus, a Roman general whose tragic story was later told by Shakespeare in his play, and about whom Beethoven wrote his "Coriolan Overture," which the students will hear in the full-orchestra version next April.


Music Director McPhee uses students and musicians to tell the story of Coriolanus.

Maestro McPhee and NSO instrumentalists will visit the middle schools twice more this year. In January, they'll explore connections between music and mathematics; in March they'll discover music's range of relationships to Social Studies.
