From learning how to make a maraca to the special effects possible on a harp, kids of all ages will have plenty to learn this summer at Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s “Virtual Summer Camp” to be presented with a series of eight short videos beginning June 15 and running weekly through Aug. 3.
The videos are free and each will be made appropriate for a specific age group. Each video features a member or special guest of the CSO.
Students who sign up will receive instructions on how to access each video through Facebook and YouTube.
