The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra is one of 120 national and international orchestras chosen for the Link Up program. Link Up orchestras pair with students in grades 3-5 to explore orchestral repertoire and fundamental musical skills, including creative work and composition, through a hands-on music curriculum. This partnership also provides a high quality, year-long curriculum that teachers can implement, along with classroom materials, online video and audio resources, and the professional development and support necessary to make the program an engaging experience for students. Schools participating in the Link Up program have priority seating during TSO’s annual Student Concerts in the Perot Theatre where they sing, move, and play recorder or violin with the orchestra from their seats! Carnegie Hall supports TSO’s existing education programs and strengthens their partnerships with local schools.
