“I have seen many, many, many symphony programs for public education, but they have NEVER been like this one. This is by far the best, most thought-out instructional program. What else would Austin produce but the best?” – Dr. Meria Carstarphen, ex-AISD Superintendent

ASO Young People’s Concerts are full orchestra performances engaging over 12,000 students (grades 4-5) annually with carefully-crafted programming of symphonic music and narrative that is targeted to the age group, richly cross-curricular, multi-sensory and interactive, supported by robust educational materials, representative of diversity and diverse backgrounds, and aligned to state teaching objectives. School groups attend during the school day as an educational field trip opportunity. ASO 2023-2024 Young People’s Concerts, titled “Symphonic Variations: Exploring Adaptation and Diversity in Music of the Americas,” are set to take place Feb. 26-28, 2024, at the Long Center.

Young People’s Concerts are supported in part through the generous funding and volunteering of the Women’s Symphony League of Austin.
