Schools & Teachers

A child’s first contact with live symphonic music can be transformative! Our school programs offer children the chance to engage with orchestra members in a low-barrier, hands-on way.

All our programs are subsidized through the generosity of corporate sponsors and private donors, and a few are even free to schools. Learn more below!
