The OSL 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.

Preparatory curriculum materials created by and for teachers, teaching artists, and students are distributed prior to the performance for additional insight into the artistic content of the performances.
