Music in Tune with Education

Inspiring children through the experience of music, generating creativity, academic success and cultural understanding.

What We Do

Classics For Kids is an educational performing arts organization dedicated to inspire children through the experience of live music, generate creativity, academic success, and cultural understanding. Programs serve all students regardless of socio-economic status though we prioritize access to low-income and disadvantaged youth. During our last season, Classics 4 Kids served almost 20,000 students, teachers and families – through Orchestra programs, in-school workshops, NEW online programs, community presentations, and through our “Heartstrings” program at Rady Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House. The 74% of those participating qualified as attending Title 1, low-income schools.
