At The Santa Fe Symphony, we are passionate about enriching the lives of children and families in our community through the performing arts. Our mission extends far beyond bringing school-aged students to concerts; it is about inspiring and developing young minds, helping students explore their potential, and encouraging them to reach their highest goals. Whether our students pursue careers in the arts or follow other paths, our aim is to enhance their overall life experiences. By fostering creativity in a safe and supportive environment, students often see improvements in other academic areas, setting the stage for success in all aspects of their lives.

By nurturing an atmosphere that grows future audiences for The Symphony and cultivates musicians across all genres, we play an essential role in ensuring music remains a vibrant and integral part of life in Northern New Mexico.

Mentoring and Outreach

Our orchestral musicians are deeply committed to music education in the Santa Fe area. Many teach in local schools or offer private and group instruction through The Symphony’s award-winning mentoring program. In recent years, over 120 underserved students in Santa Fe Public Schools have benefited from this initiative, which has significantly elevated the quality of music education in our community.

Classes for Youth

We are proud to offer a diverse range of music classes for youth, designed to inspire and cultivate talent in various musical disciplines. Our programs include instruction in band, mariachi, orchestra, chorus, jazz, and chamber music. These classes provide students with the opportunity to develop their skills, collaborate with peers, and explore the joy of making music in a supportive and enriching environment.
