The Philharmonic Society’s Youth Music Education Programs
The Philharmonic Society’s Youth Music Education Programs, offered at no charge to schools, students or parents, and available to all Orange County public and private schools, have been one of the primary supplements to make up for the lack of funding for music education in our county’s schools.
Since 1956, more than 6 million children in Orange County, elementary through high school, have participated in our nationally recognized Youth Music Education Programs, which are funded and implemented by the members of The Committees of the Philharmonic Society.
Programs are aligned with the California Department of Education curriculum standards. Schools must be enrolled in the Philharmonic Society’s Youth Music Education Programs in order to participate; these programs are not open to the public.
