All season, members of the Palm Beach Symphony share their gift with audiences through masterworks and chamber music concerts. But what happens off-stage can be even more inspiring. Through the symphony’s education programs, pro musicians offer hands-on demos, master classes, and coaching for budding virtuosos communitywide. They’ve taught students at music-magnet schools like Palm Beach Public, have sponsored STEAM nights at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, and have performed side-by-side with advanced learners. And that’s in addition to instrument donations and interactive performances designed to engage children, such as a collaborative symphony-ballet production of Peter and the Wolf. Adults can also benefit from this educational component through narrated concerts and multimedia musical experiences that are as informative as they are entertaining.
