About the Program
Students at the Symphony, made possible through the generous support of Linda and Jack Allen, is an educational initiative that provides complimentary concert tickets for students to experience live performances by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra.
Designed to expand access to orchestral music, the program seeks to inspire young audiences, cultivate a lasting appreciation for the arts, and create meaningful, memorable cultural experiences. For many participants, Students at the Symphony represents a first encounter with the power and artistry of live classical music, opening the door to creativity, curiosity, and lifelong artistic engagement.
Participating schools and programs include Bishop Moore, A Gift For Music, El Sistema, and Lake Highland.
Through this initiative, Students at the Symphony nurtures the next generation of music lovers and ensures that the transformative impact of orchestral music remains accessible to young people across our community.
