Youth Orchestra
The Cape Symphony Youth Orchestra Program offers four levels of ensembles for young musicians (up to age 21) who play orchestral instruments. Students are placed based on ability, focusing on developing musicianship and technique while exploring great compositions. The program runs from mid-September to May, with a mission to inspire joy through music performance and education, fostering the next generation of Cape Cod musicians.
Outreach
Our Educational Outreach programs ensure all students can engage with music and the arts, driven by our mission to inspire joy. Thanks to generous funding, all programs are free for participants. LinkUp, a Carnegie Hall-designed program, enables students in grades 3-5 to perform with the Cape Symphony, singing and playing recorder or string instruments in an interactive concert. This year-long program provides free curriculum materials to students and teachers, aiming to inspire the next generation of musicians on Cape Cod.
