Classical Quest is designed to encourage interest and exploration in fine music for students in middle school and high school. The Starling Chamber Orchestra, based at the University of Cincinnati, conveys the connection between historic masterpieces of music and those who pursue the joys of playing music today. The interplay of composers, the conductor, the players, their instruments and the audience is revealed. This program is designed to assist students in developing listening skills and in analyzing the compositional elements of this work. For the non-musician, the program introduces vocabulary terms and engaging musical concepts in a way that can be easily understood. For musicians, the program illustrates important issues of musicality and emphasizes how composers create contrast of tone colors, melody, and dynamics.
