Your Gift to the New York Philharmonic Education Fund Can Change Young Lives – Inspiring a Lifelong Love of Music

The School Partnership Program, the New York Philharmonic’s largest education program and the most ambitious educational initiative of any orchestra in the country, is a three-year music curriculum of workshops and concerts for grades 3-5 which began in 1994 in just 3 schools.

Today, it has grown to serve students in 122 classrooms in 4 boroughs, 130 teachers, and thousands of families.

The School Partnership Program is poised to expand to reach 5,000 students in the coming years, building future generations of music-lovers who will carry on after our own.

This year we added 20 classrooms to our program. Next year, we are committed to adding 30 more. But, to do so while making certain that our public schools continue to pay only a small fraction of the cost, we must raise an additional $200,000…a goal we can only reach with the help of music-lovers like you.

Please help us to ensure that this vital program will reach more New York City school children by making a gift today to the New York Philharmonic Education Fund.
