Educational Outreach The Boulder Philharmonic believes that live orchestral music is for everyone and is committed to providing a wide array of opportunities for people throughout our community to encounter the lifeenriching power of classical music. • Discovery Concerts introduce 4th and 5th graders throughout the Boulder Valley School District and beyond to live symphonic music. Using a tailored Curriculum Guide that complements their core music curriculum, educators prepare students for the 50-minute interactive performance at Macky Auditorium – an experience that many students describe as “the best field trip of the year!” Sign up your school today for our next Discovery Concert at Macky on Thursday, February 11, 2016. • “Michael Butterman Goes to School” Visits are a key part of the Phil’s Discovery Concert program, as our Music Director visits classrooms to introduce students to musical concepts, instrument families, music appreciation skills, and more. New this year, with support from the Noris Foundation, Boulder Phil chamber groups will also be visiting schools! • Side-by-Side Youth Concerts feature talented young musicians from Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and Front Range Youth Symphony alongside professional musicians from the Boulder Phil, who provide valuable mentorship to these students as they rehearse and perform together. • Young Artist Concerto Competition is open to all young musicians in Colorado, who compete for an opportunity to perform as a soloist with the Phil. • $5 Student Tickets to every Masterworks concert make attendance easy for young people, up to and including college students! Phone or walk-up sales only. Your financial gift or volunteer work in support of our education programs is critical to our success in enriching our community through music.
