Celebrating 31 years
of bringing music to the entire community


The "Meet the Soloist Project" has been introduced to encourage young people to have live contact with classical orchestra music. It is our intent that through this project a true interest and love of classical music will be developed in the young people of our community.
Immediately following each concert, students 14 years of age and under are chosen to meet the featured soloist and receive a musical gift. During intermission, students fill out and deposit a coupon which are available in the lobby. Student winners must be present at the completion of the concert in order to win the opportunity to meet the soloist. Participants are also limited to win one award per Music Season.
All winners' names and attended schools are then printed in each orchestra program for the entire music season.
