The Composer is Dead by Nathaniel Stookey, with text by Lemony Snicket
There’s dreadful news from the concert
hall — the composer is dead! In this
perplexing murder mystery, everyone
seems to have a motive, everyone
has an alibi and nearly everyone is a
musical instrument . As with Benjamin
Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, your students will
be introduced to each member of the orchestra…as the inspector
interrogates the entire symphonic arrangement regarding their
whereabouts at the time of the crime . One thing is for sure —
nobody is leaving the concert hall until the mystery is solved!

This is the second year that the Milwaukee Symphony will partner with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music
Institute to bring the Link Up program to our community . Link Up pairs orchestras across the country
with students in grades 3–5 at schools in their local communities to explore orchestra repertoire
through a year-long hands-on music curriculum . Composers create musical movement using motifs,
melodic direction, steps and leaps, dynamics, and orchestration . Through the Link Up repertoire,
hands-on activities, and a culminating performance, students will discover ways in which the
orchestra moves!
