Can You Hear the Difference? Chamber Music Assembly Program
Description
With its program, Can You Hear the Difference?, the Ivy Street Ensemble (violin, viola, and flute) presents a classical music program with music from many periods and styles. The ensemble showcases the different sounds of string instruments and several flutes. Ivy Street reinforces basic science as they demonstrate the correlation between the size of the instrument and the sound of the instrument. They also highlight the idea of theme and variation (useful in teaching writing) with words, music, and audience participation. Program is designed for all elementary school audiences (minimum of 125 per performance). Thanks to generous funding from the Denver County SCFD, this program is available free of charge to any elementary schools located in the City and County of Denver.

Friends of Chamber Music
Friends of Chamber Music sponsors school assembly performances by professional chamber music ensembles (string trios/quartets, brass ensembles, etc.). These concerts combine age-appropriate music theory with accessible classical music.
In addition to concerts (assembly format), we also work with schools on longer-term residencies, offering targeted, interactive instruction based on the specific needs of a classroom teacher.
Performances are presented primarily in Denver Public Schools and are available for all grade levels. We offer these performances free of charge for DPS Schools, thanks to funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
