SUMMARY:Rendezvous Arts: Woodwind Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:Woodwind Celebration!\nRendezvous Arts’ Season 6 opens with the kind of energy that sets the tone for the year: the Woodwind Celebration is back! What began as a surprising hit has become a signature favorite\, with an octet of 2 oboes\, 2 clarinets\, 2 French horns\, and 2 bassoons creating a sound that is rich\, layered\, and unforgettable. \nThis season’s program pairs the elegance of Josef Mysliveček’s Octet\, where each pair of instruments steps into the spotlight in luminous duets\, with the striking textures of Ruth Gipps’ Octet\, Op. 65\, a modern work that is bold yet intimate. The evening concludes with vibrant arrangements from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro\, bringing familiar melodies to life in a way that feels fresh and immediate. \nIt is the perfect way to open the season! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Grzeca – Visual Artist \nChicago’s own Dan Grzeca has built a reputation as one of the city’s most distinctive printmakers and illustrators. His work has appeared everywhere\, from the stages of The Black Keys\, Lollapalooza\, and Smashing Pumpkins to the covers of Three Floyds Brewing and local favorites such as The Beer Temple and Hop Butcher for the World. With thousands of posters and illustrations to his name\, Dan’s art is instantly recognizable for its bold energy and fearless creativity. \nThis season\, Dan is bringing that same spirit to Rendezvous. He will be designing a limited-edition poster exclusively for Season 6\, and you can be the very first to see it at our events. Even better\, you’ll have the chance to purchase one and take a piece of the celebration home. \nWe cannot wait to unveil what Dan has created for us\, and we know it will capture the spirit of Rendezvous in a way only he can! \n \nAbout Rendezvous Arts\nWith unwavering passion and boundless creativity\, the devoted Board of Directors and staff at Rendezvous Arts lead the charge in fostering a harmonious community\, nurturing emerging talent\, and inspiring artistic excellence. Together\, we strive to be an organization that redefines the boundaries of artistic expression and brings the gift of music and art to all corners of the Chicago area. \nWe value diversity and inclusion. We do not and will not discriminate on the basis of race\, color\, religion\, gender identity\, age\, national origin\, disability\, marital status\, sexual orientation\, or military status.

SUMMARY:Kindermusik Level 3-4 (3-5 year olds)
DESCRIPTION:The Kindermusik curriculum blends music\, movement\, pretend play\, storytelling\, and community building. Each element works together to create a rich and engaging experience for your child. Every class helps children listen closely\, reflect on what they hear\, and compare sounds and ideas. They learn to make choices\, express opinions\, and solve simple problems. These skills build confidence and encourage curiosity. \nAt the same time\, children explore the fundamentals of music. They begin to understand rhythm\, melody\, and dynamics through playful activities. With every song and game\, their imaginations grow. Each activity supports both creativity and cognitive development. Plus\, children have fun while learning essential life skills. \nSocial interaction is also a key part of the experience. Children connect with their peers through shared songs\, partner dances\, and group games. This helps them build communication skills and learn the value of cooperation. The classroom becomes a safe and joyful place to explore their world. \nGrown-ups play an important role too. At the start and end of class\, we invite caregivers to join in. This builds a sense of routine and comfort. Adults also stay nearby for bathroom breaks and support as needed. Your presence matters – it helps children feel secure and supported. \nKindermusik’s curriculum is backed by decades of research. Since 1978\, only accredited early childhood educators have taught our classes. That means your child is learning from highly trained professionals who understand how young children grow. \nEvery month brings a brand-new theme\, so the experience stays fresh and exciting. Along with in-class activities\, families get access to a user-friendly app and digital learning tools. These materials let you continue the fun and learning at home. \nWith Kindermusik\, your child gains more than music skills – they build a foundation for a lifetime of joyful learning. \nSee www.kindermusiknorthshore.com for more information.
