Young People's Concerts

The Springfield Symphony's 54th Annual Young People's Concert (YPC) will bring together students from all Springfield R-12 district schools, 50 area school districts, and students from rural, private, parochial and home schools to listen to live symphonic music and to gain valuable exposure to the elements of musical styles and eras. Each of the Young People's Concerts is specifically designed to be an in-depth learning experience.

Two Young People's Concerts are planned for this season on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 at 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM. On the day of the performances, students and teachers treated to an enriching cultural experience. The music is interspersed with entertaining facts about each composition. Musical instrumentation is explained, as are differences in musical styles.

Following each performance, the teachers follow up with each class attending in discussing important elements of the musical experience so as to integrate the concert experience into the students' curriculum.
 

Our YPC is free to attend! To sign up for  our 54th Annual Young People's Concert, fill out the form below.
