During the 2024-25 season, the Charlotte Symphony reached nearly 15,000 students through dynamic, hands-on learning experiences that brought music to life in classrooms, rehearsal spaces, and concert halls. From early childhood education to advanced ensemble training, our programs nurtured creativity, confidence, and connection through music.
Here's a snapshot of our impact:
11,362 students attended the One Musical Family concerts at Belk Theater, a cornerstone of our season that introduces young audiences to the orchestra through an interactive and engaging performance
227 hours of in-school coaching provided by CSO musicians, reaching 931 students to build instrumental skills and confidence.
133 young musicians enrolled in after-school programs, including Project Harmony and our partnership with Charlotte Bilingual Preschool, fostering musical development through ensemble learning.
And perhaps, most impressively, 5,216 snacks were consumed by the hardworking young musicians in Project Harmony!

100 students participated in Music and the Holocaust, a moving interdisciplinary program that uses music to explore themes of history, identity, and resilience.
230 students performed in the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestras, receiving high-level training and performance opportunities throughout the season.
