“I really don’t draw a line between what is and what is not education,” Music Director Alan Gilbert has said. “It all relates to the New York Philharmonic’s primary mission: to expose people of all ages to the beauty and the power of music.” This belief informs the Orchestra’s wide range of Philharmonic education programs that illuminate and elucidate music for everyone.

In Performance Very Young People’s Concerts (ages 3–6) This season’s series, At Home with Philharmonic Families, introduces kids to the Philharmonic’s strings, brass, and percussion families. Each concert explores basic musical ideas through movement, singing, and humor, with the Philharmonic’s irrepressible Associate Principal Viola Rebecca Young as your host — along with more of violist Dorian Rence’s stories of Philippe the Penguin. Very Young People’s Concerts take place on Sundays, at 12:30 and 3:00 p.m., and Mondays, at 10:30 a.m. Audience members join the Orchestra on stage at a Young People’s Concert, conducted by Case Scaglione, November 10, 2012 At Home with Philharmonic Families “Strings,” December 1–2 “Brass,” January 5–6 Tranfixed audience members at a Young People’s Concert, February 18, 2012 “Percussion,” April 27–28 Young People’s Concerts (ages 6–12) In this season’s series, Points of Entry, each concert uses a single great score to explore facets of music and the orchestra itself.
