Promote the development of 21st century skills in children through music-based instruction (Goal 2) and Eliminate cost as a barrier to music participation (Goal 3).
We promoted music-based instruction and eliminated cost as a barrier to music participation. Free access to virtual programming has helped the CSO substantially reduce or eliminate cost as a barrier to music participation. Moreover, seeing live musicians via our Musicians in Schools program and our Young People’s Concerts inspires children to consider roles in the arts and provides them with a first-hand experience that may lead to their valuing orchestral works. Some of these young people attend Title 1 schools (at least 40% or more students were classified as low income). CSO’s Young People’s Concerts (YPCs) are special concerts during the academic year geared toward elementary and middle school students.
