Inside the Orchestra (IO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of Inside the Orchestra is to bring music to children, cultivating music appreciation and enhancing their education through engaging, interactive experiences with orchestral music.

IO’s unique and interactive programs are designed to plant the seeds for life-long appreciation of music and performing arts - as well as to fill in gaps in music education provided by the educational system. IO provides large-scale immersive, interactive educational concerts for children 12 and under, through in-school programming and in programs open to the public. IO also provides smaller group performance programs, educational sessions, lesson plans, and curated activities for teachers and individuals to engage children with music and the performing arts.
