Most people learn about classical music, and come to love it, through a combination of musical exposure, in school and through lessons, combined with live concert experiences. Attending live concerts is a critical and inspiring component of the musical experience. But with ticket prices exceeding $50 or even $200 in most venues, the vital experience of live music is not available to all.

One World Symphony has responded to this lack of arts availability in our schools and inner-city communities by developing the unique Community Music program. This program enables students and parents who would otherwise not be in a position to afford classical concerts to obtain tickets sponsored through anonymous donor support. Accompanied by parents or community groups, children, may attend live concerts during the One World Symphony season!

Through generous support from individual patrons, more than one thousand students and families have attended One World Symphony concerts from Harlem Children's Zone, Harlem School for the Arts, Chinatown YMCA, Heritage School, Casita Maria, Big Brother Big Sister, Third Street Music School Settlement, LEAP, Singer's Forum, The Lighthouse, and KIPP Schools.
