CSO String Quintet Visits Gilbert


On Wednesday, February 3rd, Gilbert Elementary students were given a rare treat! The Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra's String Quintet paid a visit to our school. These talented musicians introduced us to string instruments including violins, a viola, a cello, and a bass. We listened to lively music all centered on an animal theme. Composers included Joseph Haydn and Camille Saint-Saens. What fun!
