In the Schools

Some of the most heart-felt concerts presented by Berkeley Symphony happen in school auditoriums. Though only a handful of our regular patrons have heard these concerts, they have a strong and enthusiastic following—from the students, parents, teachers and administrators of Berkeley's public elementary schools.

We strive to make our Music in the Schools program unique and exciting for all the children involved because at Berkeley Symphony, we recognize the fundamental connection between great music and innovation.

Thanks to a sixteen-year partnership with Berkeley Unified School District, Berkeley Symphony's Music In the Schools serves over 4,000 students in all eleven BUSD elementary schools each year. Our nationally recognized, award-winning program runs from fall to spring and includes interactive on-campus concerts, classroom visits, and springtime "I'm a Performer" concerts, for which each and every class learns a song to perform with Berkeley Symphony as their very own "back-up band!"
