Music in the Schools

Music in the Schools (MIS) sends three of the TSO’s chamber ensembles (String Quintet, Wind Quintet, and Brass and Percussion Ensemble) throughout the school year to 36 public, private, parochial, and charter schools, reaching approximately 5,000 students and teachers. The 30-minute interactive performances are geared towards 3rd–5th grade students, but are appropriate for K-6. Each ensemble provides a different approach to the annual theme, introduces their instruments, and explores the structure of the music as a language and its ability to communicate stories and emotions.

Each school that registers for Music in the Schools also receives 100 free tickets to Young Peoples Concert Field Trip in May, and a discounted rate for additional tickets!
