Music Education Society
“Through music, we open doors to creativity, curiosity, and connection—fostering a love for the arts that lasts a lifetime.”
The Maryland Symphony Orchestra is deeply committed to nurturing intellectual, emotional, and social growth through music. Our programs extend from Pre-K to adulthood, inspiring young musicians through the MSO Youth Orchestra and reaching underserved communities with educational initiatives in Title I schools and Head Start programs. These efforts ensure that the transformative power of orchestral music is accessible to everyone.
From sparking an early passion for music to cultivating the next generation of musicians and educators, the MSO’s educational initiatives create lasting impacts that resonate far beyond the concert stage.
The following supporters have made a meaningful contribution to the Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s Music Education Society, enabling us to continue enriching lives and inspiring the minds of tomorrow through the power of music.
