The Link Up program doesn't work without recorders! In a typical season this program reaches approximately 1,300 elementary school students. Your donation helps to fulfill our promise to provide a brand-new recorder to each 4th grader in Stamford Public Schools.

A program of Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute, Link Up features a highly participatory curriculum that introduces students to the orchestra, symphonic repertoire, and musical concepts such as rhythm, tempo, and dynamics. Our program culminates in a live, interactive performance at Westhill High School with Stamford Symphony musicians. For many students in Stamford, this is their first concert experience and serves as a fun and engaging entry point to classical music. Stamford Symphony has partnered with Stamford Public Schools to produce Link Up since 2014. This year, we are doing the Orchestra Swings program, which explores the elements that contribute to that magical moment when the orchestra starts to swing"

Great music should be something that brings us together as a community, to be transported, to experience joy and to celebrate life. With your support we can extend our reach and broaden our impact with live music, played by our extraordinary musicians, in libraries across the region!

An orchestra, theater or museum can be a catalyst, building a vibrant community that is attractive for everyone. The Palace Theatre will always be the Orchestra's home for the principal subscription series but the Symphony's commitment to a greater community footprint is recognized by its plans to present more live performances in venues from Greenwich to Bridgeport. Libraries are a vibrant hub to seek information, gain knowledge, exchange ideas and share experiences, they are the perfect community partner for programming that will enriching the intellectual and creative lives of the community.

When music participation is an integral part of children's lives, it can positively impact their growth and development. Your gift helps us to ensure that all youth in our community have access to high-quality music education experiences that will encourage them to explore, appreciate, perform, and create music.

Stamford Symphony musicians offer guidance and feedback through lessons, in-depth instrument bootcamps and performance master classes. Each year, we accomplish this by deepening our engagement with Stamford Public Schools and our partner music organizations. We are committed to expanding these mentorship programs to increase access and resources to young people in every under-resourced community in our area.

Your contribution to the Major Works Fund will be rewarded with the sounds of wonderful music never performed by Stamford Symphony!

Historically, there have been some great pieces of music that Stamford Symphony has not been able to perform due to the fact that they required so many musicians onstage. When we return to the Palace Theatre this season, the Major Works Fund is supporting the Symphony's first-ever performance of the gargantuan Pictures at an Exhibition and Music Director Michael Stern is eager to program more of these fantastic pieces in the seasons to come!
