Music IS Language ~ Come HEAR for yourself!


Language has been around for millenniums, and it is more than
the sound produced by human vocal folds.
Language is communication in many forms. Some language has no sound.
Morse Code

Cuneiform

body Language

Braille
Music is language, too.
Using rhythm, tempo, and volume music can express or evoke any emotion,
create pictures, convey stories,
 change moods, and stimulate imagination and creativity.
Rhythm

It's very simply accomplished, really.
This Saturday, November 17
the Muncie Symphony String Quartet
will give FREE interactive performance presentations
demonstrating how music is language.
You can catch us at the Maring-Hunt branch of the Muncie Public Library at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Then try your hand (or mouth) at musical language yourself.
After each presentation, string and wind instruments are 
available for you to make music-
or at least make sounds!  Music students from Ball State University will be there to 
help you coax as much from each instrument as you can.

Music on the Move's Music is Language is presented by Muncie Symphony Orchestra
in partnership with Ball State University School of Music as part of MSO's education and outreach initiatives.
We could not do this without generous support from these businesses:

Baby You Can Drive My Car!

If you love cars and driving as much as I do, visiting a car dealer showroom is an exhilarating experience!

The style, fit, and finish are there for everyone to admire.


Cars not only take you away physically, they stimulate your imagination, and carry you away in your dreams.



For me cars are all about performance.  
Pushing the limits of the car's abilities is a huge adrenaline rush.


 It's unknown.                        It's exciting. 

                         It's a little risky.                            


                 It. Is. Fun!  



Music is exciting, unknown, a little risky and fun, too. Come to Toyota of Muncie and enjoy music like you've never heard it before!
The first Rattanovy Series concert in the Toyota showroom  features music from
The Beatles to Britten*
Come for the style and push the limits of orchestral music at an     
   exhilarating         
         performance 
        you will never forget.


The Muncie Symphony Rattanovy Series opens at 
Toyota and Scion of Munice 
3311 N Nebo Road
November 19th
9:00 p.m.

It's a late night concert with a Beatles theme.




*Peter Breiner’s award winning “Beatles Concerto Grosso IV” Baroque style includes the familiar tunes “Here Comes the Sun,” “Michelle, “Goodnight,” and “Carry That Load”  transcribed for string ensemble.



English composer Benjamin Britten’s “Simple Symphony” is a work for a string orchestra written as a dedication to his childhood music teacher.  This four movement piece is considered one of his first masterpieces as an adult composer.  The most popular second movement “The Playful Pizzicato,” has a spirited melody and charming invention.



Paul McCartney songs “When I’m Sixty-Four,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Let It Be”  feature in an original composition by Jody Nagel.  




Tickets are $25 and may be purchased at the Emens box office from 9 am to 6 pm 
Monday through Friday.

Performance is what it's all about! 

Feel the excitement.

Enjoy the style.

Have. Some. FUN.
