Educational Programs
Musical virtuosos aren't born - they're inspired, cultivated and encouraged. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra believes that with the proper training and education, every child has the potential to be the next Mozart or Beethoven. Or maybe the next Lennon or McCartney (which isn't a bad way to go, either).
We've established programs to help expand young minds, from those in kindergarten to college students and beyond. Whether your child aspires to a career in music, or simply wants to learn more about the Symphony and symphonic performance, the experiences they have with the DSO will help them enjoy and appreciate music for a lifetime.
