Strings for Ghouls

Strings for Ghouls

Barnett String Quartet

This program is a special Halloween treat for young students! Dressed in colorful Halloween outfits, the musicians dazzle youngsters with ‘scary music’, including a ghost story and a midnight musical visit to a haunted graveyard. The program centers on the themes associated historically with this widely celebrated day. Spooky sound effects, costumes, and the chance to try out miniature violins and skeleton shakers add to the fun, while students learn how music can increase the understanding and enjoyment of Halloween. Students will also learn what is meant by a theme in music and the definition of “program music.”

Davis Barnett (viola) is joined by Diane Barnett (violin), Greg Teperman (violin), and Gail Abbasi (cello), who is also one of Musicopia’s founders.
