The Cape Symphony’s Educational Outreach programs strive to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate in music and the arts. Our mission to inspire joy drives our outreach initiatives, which aim to provide accessible, fun, and engaging opportunities to our wonderful Cape community.
All programs are free to participants thanks to generous grant and donor funding.
Outreach Program Highlights:
LinkUp
This Carnegie Hall-designed program provides music educators with special tools to prepare their students to perform with the Cape Symphony right from their seats in the audience. Students in grades 3-5 sing and play recorder or string instruments in a highly 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 for free!
