Atlantic City, N.J. – More than 250 area children gained their first exposure to classical music on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 in Atlantic City, as part of the Schultz-Hill Foundation’s Youth Arts Education Outreach Program.

The event took place at Stockton University’s Dante Hall Theater. Students from Atlantic City’s Our Lady Star Of The Sea School and the Principle Academy Charter School were in attendance as the Schultz-Hill Foundation treated them to a narrated performance of Sergei Prokofief’s ‘Peter And the Wolf.’ The musicians were all members of the Bay Atlantic Symphony, conducted by the orchestra’s Music Director, Jed Gaylin. 

The concert is based on an old Russian folktale about a young boy, his grandfather and the boy’s companions who include a bird, a duck and cat, among others. Each character in the musical is represented by orchestra instruments which were introduced to the young audience at the start of the production.

At the end of the concert, the students were given the opportunity to ask questions from Maestro Gaylin. 

The event was part of the Schultz-Hill Foundation’s dedication to promote and support arts, history and education in South Jersey via educational scholarships, direct grants and funding for the Arts, historical and musical programs. For more information, visit http://www.schultz-hill.org.

The Schultz-Hill Foundation is presenting a free Concert to Atlantic County School Students. "Peter and the Wolf," an Education symphonic composition, will be performed by the Bay Atlantic Symphony under the direction of  Director Jed Gaylin on March 13th, (10:30 am) at Dante Theater of the ARTS in Atlantic City. Students from the Principal Academy Charter School and students from Lady Star of the Sea Elementary School in Atlantic City will attend the Youth Music Education Program.
 
"Peter and the Wolf" is a composition written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936 in the Soviet Union. It is a children's story (with both music and text by Prokofiev), spoken by a narrator. It introduces audiences (especially students) to the sounds and sections of the symphony. It tells the Russian story of a young boy who lives in the woods and skillfully traps a wolf who has been terrorizing him and his animal friends. The instruments in the Orchestra represent each of the characters of the story, for ex., The French horn is the Wolf; Grandfather is the Bassoon, etc.

It is a wonderful and enjoyable Music Education Program for the Students in Our Community! It is funded by the Schultz-Hill Foundation, a Private ARTS/Education Foundation located in Atlantic City. The Hon. Jesse Tweedle (Mayor of Pleasantville) will deliver the welcoming remarks.
