At Cape Symphony, we believe music should be accessible to everyone. Our educational outreach programs expand access to inspiring musical experiences for students and educators across the Cape and Islands, enriching lives and strengthening our community.
All programs are free to participants thanks to generous grant and donor funding.
Highlights:
Link Up
This Carnegie Hall-designed program provides music teachers with special tools to prepare their students to perform with the Cape Symphony Orchestra right from their seats in the audience at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center. Students in grades 3-5 sing and play recorder or string instruments in an interactive concert that strives to recruit the next generation of talented musicians on Cape Cod. This year-long program provides all curriculum materials to students and teachers free of charge.
