Concerts and Programs in our Schools

The RPO was one of the first orchestras in the country to create a music education program for children, and it continues to be a leader in formulating age-appropriate, sequential learning programs that can be fully integrated into school curricula. The RPO’s education programs follow children from pre-school through college, and the Orchestra collaborates with school districts in our region to ensure that each child in Rochester is exposed to and enriched by beautiful music.
