Sounds of the solar system will reverberate through Sangamon Auditorium during the Illinois Symphony Orchestra's 2009 educational concert series, “Space Me Out.” Designed by Maestra Karen Lynne Deal for elementary students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, “Space Me Out” will focus on the planets and our solar system. Maestra Deal will use music and musical instruments to teach students about topics such as vibration, sonics and planetary sounds. The Symphony's David Collier will perform a timpani concerto, and students will learn about the musical imagery in Gustav Holst's colorful work The Planets.

“Space Me Out” will be an exciting live concert experience that engages students with the rich sound of a full symphony orchestra and Maestra Deal's ability to make learning about music and space science fun and entertaining.
