LYRICA BAROQUE

What they do

WITH FEELING and MUSIC is A COLLABORATIVELY CREATED and PRODUCED PROGRAM USING CHAMBER MUSIC to TEACH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW ORLEANS-BASED NONPROFIT KID SMART, LYRICA BAROQUE HAS INTEGRATED CHAMBER MUSIC INTO KID SMARTS "WITH FEELING" CURRICULUM. THE EMERGENCE of SEL IN K-12 SETTINGS, COUPLED WITH THE NEAR ABSENCE of CLASSICAL MUSIC EDUCATION CALLS for A COMPREHENSIVE TOOL THAT LEVERAGES ARTISTIC EXPRESSION and SEL SKILL BUILDING to RESTORE and REVITALIZE CLASSROOM EDUCATION, and ENRICH THE LIVES of CHILDREN AS THEY NAVIGATE A COMPLEX SOCIAL WORLD, ESPECIALLY POST-COVID. THE CURRICULUM HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO A MULTIMEDIA FORMAT, EACH LESSON BEING PAIRED WITH SONGS COMPOSED, ARRANGED, and RECORDED BY LYRICA BAROQUE MUSICIANS. 2024 BROUGHT GROWTH and EXPANSION to THE PROJECT INCLUDING TEACHING ARTIST and MUSICIAN TRAINING SESSIONS to INCREASE OUR ROSTER of ARTISTS FACILITATING GREATER FLEXIBILITY of SCHEDULING WITH SCHOOLS and EDUCATORS.
