This season, nearly 20,000 students and teachers experienced the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra live through our Education Concerts program. 🎶 Students shared handwritten thank-you cards, talked excitedly about hearing Star Wars performed live, and told us the long bus ride was "worth it." For many, it was their very first experience with live orchestral music, creating memories that will stay with them for years to come.

Across both concert weeks this season, we welcomed:
🎶 Nearly 20,000 students and teachers
🚌 375 buses
🏫 More than 190 schools

In this video our Vice President of Music, Anne-Marie Switzer, reflects on the impact these concerts continue to have on students, educators, and communities throughout the province.
