Through our Youth Outreach programs, Summer Music Associates is dedicated to bringing exciting and enriching musical experiences directly into the schools to benefit our young people. 

In March of 2025, SMA is sponsoring the full costs of tickets and supplementing transportation costs in cooperation with the school region's four elementary schools' PTO's in order to bring 145 fifth grade students and their chaperones to a Boston Symphony Orchestra Youth Concert.  SMA is thrilled to be a part of this important event in the musical education of your youth.

 

BSO Youth Concerts introduce students to the power of live orchestral music by exploring connections between the repertoire and the concert theme.

 

 

BSO Youth Concerts introduce students to the unique experience of hearing a live professional orchestra, encouraging an appreciation of orchestral music and a sense of connection to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Hall. 

 

 

Germeshausen Youth and Family Concerts Conductor Thomas Wilkins designs each concert with 4th-6th-grade students in mind, speaking directly to youth between pieces to help them understand the music, and delivering positive character development messages throughout the performance.
