Children’s Educational Concert

Sherman Symphony Orchestra Children’s Educational Concert

The Children’s Educational Concert serves as the centerpiece of the SSO’s educational outreach programs. Each year, 2,000 5th grade students from the Texoma region attend this concert at Kidd-Key Auditorium free of charge. For many students, this is their first opportunity to see a live symphony orchestra performance. The 45-minute concert program is designed accordingly and offers an introduction to concert-going, the orchestra, instrument families, and individual instruments. This informative, high-quality, and energetic concert shares pieces ranging from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 to the theme from Star Wars in order to convey the musical interpretation of artistic ideas.

Developed in conjunction with local music educators, the goal of this program is to engage developing minds in the art of classical music by providing a high-quality live concert experience.

Our generous local businesses make this program possible through their sponsorships.
