Peninsula Symphony Bridges to Music Community Outreach
Through the Peninsula Symphony’s Bridges to Music programs, we strive to make music accessible to our community through school outreach programs, free concerts, youth music competitions, pre-concert lectures and the distribution of free and discounted tickets to the underserved members of our community. All of this is done in the hopes of engaging audiences of all ages and inspiring in them the wonder of live music.

Elementary School programs expose 4th and 5th graders to soloists and small professional ensembles five times a year.
High School programs provide more advanced students with a deeper look at music with master classes and peer guidance.
