YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONCERTS
In partnership with Rochester Public School's, Rochester Symphony presents a day of concerts for area grade-schoolers. Young People's Concerts (previously Concerts for Fourth Graders), feature music from the classical repertoire, beloved to kids for generations and considered essential listening for students. For a nominal cost per student, Rochester Symphony covers the majority of the cost for this event - including busing - providing this field trip opportunity to many students who have never experienced a live orchestra performance.
In the coming school year, Rochester Symphony's Young People's
concerts will present Peter and the Wolf on November 13, 2026.
