School House Symphony

School House Symphony’s mission is to foster both an understanding and appreciation of music from many different cultures and time periods, and to promote an awareness of how music is structured and performed.

School House Symphony is a 6-member symphonic ensemble that has been bringing live music to preschool, elementary, and junior high classrooms in the Cincinnati Tri-State since 1976. SHS presents over 250 educational shows each year, with an audience of approximately 8,000 individual students, many of whom see SHS multiple times throughout the school year. SHS programs are engaging and interactive shows crafted to reinforce educational benchmarks. By combining teaching with performing, SHS not only provides cultural enrichment, but also presents musical concepts, history, and culture, which help open young minds to a world of new experiences through music.
