Education & Community

We're much more than concerts.  Each year more than 77,000 students and adults experience the dynamic variety of learning opportunities offered by the Grammy-nominated Grand Rapids Symphony. 

Now more than ever, students need creative skill-building to succeed in the classrooms of today as well as the work places of tomorrow. 

The Grand Rapids Symphony is dedicated to providing a wide range of activities including performing ensembles, scholarships, awards, and behind-the-scenes events to our community to explore the wonderful world of live music, great art and great artists. 

In the following pages you will discover the many ways to create a life-changing experience for you, your students and your family through music.
