St. Luke's Arts Education Program produces full-scale, professional performances for nearly 20,000 New York City Public School students each year, free of charge.
Students from all five boroughs travel on buses and subways to major New York City concert venues to hear performances by such composers as Copland, Handel, Stravinsky, and Vivaldi, and to see such notable dance companies as Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane & Co., the Limon Company, Taylor 2, and Freefall Modern Dance Company.
The outstanding musicians of the Orchestra of St. Luke's are collaborators in these performances, providing live music, visiting classrooms and coaching young instrumentalists.
For 2010-2011, all educational concerts will explore the theme of Music and Special Occasions.
Preparatory materials created by Orchestra of St. Luke's for students are posted online, within this site in the "Teachers" section, prior to each performance series. Please stay tuned!
