Education

The main objective of the POA Arts in Education Program is to advance
the knowledge and awareness of the classical music of the Americas. Our
target audience is elementary school-age children who have had little or no
exposure to the classical music of the Americas.

Our plan is to engage students by bringing a combination of our musical resources; small ensemble demonstrations, teaching artists, and a visit by our artistic director and founder Alondra de la Parra, into the classroom. In addition to our presence in the school, students will also attend an end-of-the-year concert given by the full orchestra in a traditional concert venue.

Bring us to your school!
