It’s the 5th Anniversary of “The Nirks Meet the Instruments!” An Award Winning online music education series that teaches children and families all about the musical instruments in a symphony orchestra! To celebrate, we’re re-releasing the series in 4 parts by section – woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion/conductor with all new “Where are they now?” bonus content / performances in each part! Welcome to the Meet the Instruments 5-year Anniversary Special!
The Nirks have been wanting to start their own orchestra at castle Nirkenstein for ages. Now, thanks to the help of their new friends from Orchestra Nova Northwest (formerly Portland Columbia Symphony,) they can! Join the Nirks on their musical journey through the orchestra.
Today, we’ll meet the percussion and the conductor and hear the final performance with all of the instruments and musicians playing together!
It's time to Meet the Percussion! We're going to meet the instruments of the Percussion section! There are SO many! Randall the Reindeer and his teacher, professional percussionist Florian Conzetti can't wait to show you some of the instruments they love to hit, scrape, shake and more! You can even make percussion instruments out of things around the house... or become an instrument yourself! Wait, is Randall playing that vibraslap with his head? We'll also hear Florian and Randall play a fun new duet together!
Last but not least, the Grand Finale of Meet the Instruments! But before we hear our Nirk friends perform with Portland Columbia Symphony, we have one more member of the orchestra to meet: The Conductor! Maestro Steven Byess is the Conductor and fearless leader of Portland Columbia Symphony, and he's here to tell us what it's like to be a conductor. How does he get all the musicians to play at the same time? It looks like he uses a magic wand! How do you become a conductor? So many questions and Maestro Byess will answer them all! Then, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, our full orchestral performance of Meet the Instruments! Our new friends from Portland Columbia Symphony will be playing alongside the Nirks, for an incredibly exciting and fun performance together! Thank you for watching Meet the Instruments!
Easter Egg Bonus Content: We have a special extra treat for you! The Nirks Orchestra now performs and records music on a regular basis. Here is our recording of Nicole Buetti’s Odyssey with a little bonus look at what each of us Nirks is doing now thanks to our music education! Enjoy!
The Nirks give you an up close and personal look at each of their instruments with their professional musician teachers from Orchestra Nova Northwest (Formerly Portland Columbia Symphony). This series is a great way to introduce young kids (and kids at heart) to all of the musical instruments that make up a symphony orchestra. A wonderful homeschool, or classroom tool to help kids learn about each instrument that makes up an orchestra. Join the Nirks and Orchestra Nova Northwest for Meet the Instruments!
We hope you enjoyed the Finale of the Meet the Instruments 5 Year Anniversary Special. Thanks for watching!
