The Green Bay Symphony Orchestra unveiled artwork at the Weidner Center on Thursday. The pieces were created by fifth graders at Martin and Wequiock Elementary Schools as part of a program to build students' appreciation for music.

"We collaborate with the music teachers so they have a way of incorporating it into their curriculum. It's just a way for the Green Bay Symphony to be truly integrated in the community," said Donato Cabrera, music director of the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra.

The "Music for a Great City" program runs for two weeks and combines classical music based activities with artwork in students' music classes.
