Kid’s Orchestra is a year round program designed to foster social change and nurture promising futures for youth in Baton Rouge. In collaboration with a broad array of community partners, Baton Rouge’s Kid’s Orchestra program will provide music education, instruments, leadership development, and performance opportunities to Baton Rouge’s kindergarten through fifth graders.
Kids’ Orchestra’s mission is to increase racial harmony in southern Louisiana. Through the language of music, Kids’ Orchestra is going to bring children of all races, cultures, and backgrounds together. In collaboration with a broad array of community partners, the Kids’ Orchestra program will provide music education, instruments, leadership development, and performance opportunities to Baton Rouge’s kindergarten through fifth graders.
We are going to teach children how to play instruments in an orchestra environment. The program will be available free of charge to the students who need scholarships. Although music is going to be the means by which we connect with these children, Kids’ Orchestra is not solely a music program. We are simply using music as a way to inspire, motivate, and nurture these children. This program will teach them life skills including self-worth and interaction with others. We hope that our program will help these children become successful not just in music, but throughout their lives.
