The Composer is Dead, written by the brilliant author Lemony Snicket, with music by Nathaniel Stookey, is a great introduction to the instruments of the orchestra. The concert is presented as a classic "whodunit?" tale. Our diligent detective will interrogate each section of the orchestra to uncover what they do, how they work and who killed the composers Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. Were they drowned out by the drums? Did the clarinets sneak up on them? Or did the trumpets blow them away? Help our detective solve this perplexing mystery and give your students a concert experience they will never forget.
