The FHS Performing Arts Center was full of music, energy, and recorder notes as Fayetteville Public Schools fourth graders took part in “The Orchestra Swings” with the Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra! 🎶🎻

Through Carnegie Hall’s Link Up program, students experienced an interactive concert where they sang, danced, and performed alongside professional musicians. With support from APO musicians, FPS music teachers, and Fayetteville High School students, our fourth graders confidently played along and became part of the orchestra experience themselves.

It was a fun filled day of music making, movement, and memorable performances for students across FPS! 💜
