MSO COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Reaching the Heart of the Madison Community
Our community engagement programs reach thousands
of children and adults throughout Dane County. These programs offer excellent
opportunities to learn new skills, explore the excitement of music and interact
with others who share the love of music.
HeartStrings
The Symphony's newest community engagement initiative, HeartStrings is built on the foundation of the nationally recognized Up Close & Musical® program. Reaching beyond traditional learning environments, HeartStrings brings live, interactive musical performances to children and adults with special needs. Learn more at left.
Open Dress Rehearsals
The MSO is still one of the few orchestras in the nation to bring the public into dress rehearsals free of charge. Reaching people who are unable to attend regular concerts and offering free opportunities for students to learn is all part of the MSO mission. Learn more at left.
Meet the Musician
The MSO's free educational events at the Madison Children's Museum offer small children their first glimpse of musical instruments and time to interact with the MSO musicians who play them! Learn more at left.
Student Rush Tickets
For only $12 on the day of the concert, full-time students can get as close to the guest artist as they want with front-row seats, or they can take advantage of a box or balcony seat to get a better perspective on the Symphony. Learn more at left.
