The Williamsburg Symphonia's extensive education and outreach programs have delighted thousands of young people and earned the praise and gratitude of parents and teachers. Orchestral leaders and teachers alike believe that music encourages children to be more creative and strengthens listening and language skills. Each year our Symphonia orchestra members go to area schools to perform great music, and hundreds of families come to concerts specially designed for them.

For Schools and Teachers

During the 2007-2008 season The Williamsburg Symphonia presented Peter and the Wolf to more than 3,000 students at area public and private schools. Participating schools and teachers received stimulating preparatory materials prior to the performances. These materials enabled the teachers to prepare the students for the most effective concert-going experience possible. Programs presented by the Symphonia are designed to support the Standards of Learning.

• Meet Our Musicians Ensembles
• Master Classes

For Kids and Families

Each year The Williamsburg Symphonia presents a delightful Sunday afternoon Family Concert designed for children ages 3–10 and their families, performed in the Kimball Theatre. Creatively themed, the program also features post-concert activities, such as instrument demonstrations and hands-on experiences with instruments from the various orchestral sections. This delightful learning event is enjoyed by hundreds of people each year and presents a wonderful opportunity to introduce young children to symphonic music and musicians.
