Big Arts in the Little Apple

BALA, an initiative by the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra, presents a unique collaboration celebrating the vibrant connection between music and visual arts within our community.
 
Appleton Area students delve into a featured piece of music from the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra's masterworks concerts, learning about the composer, the history, and the emotional landscape of the music. Inspired by this musical exploration, students express their interpretations through original artworks created in their visual art class.
 
The resulting artwork is displayed in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center the night of the concert and later is temporarily displayed at the Appleton Public Library for all to enjoy. 
 
This program fosters a deeper understanding of both music and visual arts, encouraging students to think creatively and connect different forms of expression. It strengthens the bond between the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra and our local schools, celebrating the talent and creativity of our young artists. Ultimately, it cultivates a lifelong appreciation for the arts, enriching the lives of students and the entire community. 
 
Join us in celebrating the power of music and art to inspire and connect!
