Nomi Marcus from the Springfield Youth Symphony accepts a $500 Foundation donation from Club President-Elect Melissa Tuttle
The Springfield Symphony Orchestra is widely known for making beautiful music for the enjoyment of our community, but the Symphony does more than that! The SSO proudly supports numerous educational programs for our young people, making this a better community. Many of the young people we touch will be the concert audiences of tomorrow, but more importantly they will be better prepared to be productive citizens.
Music education can provide skills and capabilities that will help children be more successful in school and in life. Music education has been demonstrated to improve children’s test scores and math abilities. Participation in musical activities also helps young people learn to work together with other students toward a common goal. What a lesson for life!
Since 1950 the SSO has continually introduced new educational programs to improve the lives of our community’s children. In addition to presenting quality performances of live symphonic music, it is also the mission of the SSO to continue to provide educational programs to enrich the lives of adults and children in and around Clark County.
