Symphonic Story Time, presented by Quintet Athens, brings writings by local youth to life. Students ages K-5 from around the Athens area submitted original stories for the Stories By Classic City Kids program, several of which were then selected and converted into chamber music works by composers Bethany Lambers, Andrew Steck, Taylor Roland and Nikolas Geerken. These musical pieces, designed for young listeners and music lovers alike, will be showcased in a recital program through a partnership with the Athens Regional Library System with funding from the Athens Area Arts Council. Quintet Athens’ goal with this creative project is to share its music in an accessible and educational way while helping children learn more about themselves and their own creative spark. Another Symphonic Story Time event, a performance of “Peter and the Wolf” by Sergei Prokofiev, is scheduled for 4 p.m. on July 20.
