The Elgin Symphony Orchestra’s mission statement is “To serve and engage a broad audience through the performance of powerful symphonic music and dynamic educational programs while developing strong community relationships.”
The ESO Education and Community Outreach programs provide something for everyone. These include a wide selection of musical offerings to accommodate every age group. Our programs for youth include our annual Ainsworth Concerts for Youth, Traveling Ensembles, Masterclasses and Family Concerts – reaching more than 25,000 students per season.
2021-2022 SEASON Education and Community Outreach Programs
Traveling Ensembles
Bring the ESO to your location! Inviting one of our Traveling Ensembles to perform at your home, school, retirement community or event is an enjoyable way to educate and entertain. It also provides a rare opportunity to see and hear professional musicians play their instruments in an informal setting.
Ainsworth Concerts for Youth
Our 2021-22 Ainsworth Concerts for Youth program, Blueprints: Music by Design is scheduled for March 15 through March 18, 2022.
Masterclasses
We are currently working on our 2022 Masterclasses. Check back soon for Spring 2022 dates.
Listeners Club
Each Elgin Symphony Orchestra concert is designed to be a stimulating musical journey. Of course, when you travel it’s always wise to bring a guidebook to point out the details. Think of the Listeners Club as your musical guidebook…
