What is an Orchestra? is a dynamic, engaging (and cool!) series for students hosted by Associate Conductor Vinay Parameswaran, and featuring musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra. The series provides a fundamental understanding of an orchestra, the role of the conductor, and the unique sounds and personalities of the instrument families. Though it has been designed primarily for students in Grades 4 through 8, learners of all ages will enjoy these new recordings, lessons and interactive quizzes.

The instruments of the Brass Family are the “Heroes” of the Orchestra. The bold, regal sounds of the trumpets, trombones, horns and tuba command your attention!
