....to foster love and understanding of live classical music in our school children

The Outreach Program consists of four parts

1. During the week before the concert, the students are instructed in the art of listening informedly to the concert.
2. On Sunday, the students are our guests at the concert.
3. On Monday morning following the concert, these same world-renowned artists visit the schools and give master classes.
4. After the outreach program, an evaluation team makes suggestions on how this program could be improved.

We believe strongly that it is important to foster understanding of live classical music in our school children. We strive to reinforce basic technical skills and to enhance the students' musicality by exposure to working with highly regarded professional musicians.

We bring our artists to the schools for master classes, and we bear all costs related to these programs. From time to time we have special fundraisers for just this purpose.
