During this 3-session residency program, students learn about the physics of sound and music: vibrations, sound waves, media, frequency and amplitude. Three live musicians help to provide hands-on demonstrations of how sounds are produced. As a culminating activity, students use recycled/ repurposed materials to produce sounds that are performed alongside our trio in a charming rendition of Haydn's Surprise Symphony.
A narrator and small ensemble of instruments tell the story of The Bremen Town Musicians by the Brothers Grimm. Classical tunes are played alongside familiar children's songs to tell the story of the donkey, dog, cat and rooster who set out on a journey to become musicians. Instruments in the ensemble represent each character with music that brings to life this classic fairy tale. Teachers are provided with pre- and post-assembly materials for students.

DCWS is putting the "chamber" back in chamber music. Structurally Sound is a concert and lecture series that presents chamber music in... architecturally significant spaces and works to relate the musical repertoire to the space's unique qualities.
The first performance of the newest series was in April 2012. The concert featured DCWS musician, trombonist David Jackson, at the Ford Piquette Plant in Detroit.
The 2012-13 season will offer two Structurally Sound concerts.
