Plan a Trip to the Symphony
The Jacksonville Symphony offers a variety of opportunities for students of all ages to visit Jacoby Symphony Hall with their school. Educator classroom guides and supporting material maximize the impact of the experience for the child.
Preludes Concerts
Preludes Concerts are offered for students Grades 1-3 to experience classical music performed by a live symphony.
These 50-minute concerts are specially curated to engage children with all of the instruments and sounds of the orchestra, with musical learning moments in a fun and entertaining setting.
Young People’s Concerts
Young People’s Concerts are offered for students Grades 3-5 to explore a wide range of musical elements through classical music.
For more information about Preludes and Young People’s Concerts, contact Marianne Rice at mrice@jaxsymphony.org.
For Middle and High School Students and Groups
Students at the Symphony is a concert-going experience that provides FREE tickets for middle and high school students for select Jacksonville Symphony Masterworks and Pops concerts via school partnerships. The program includes pre-concert workshops with Symphony Teaching Artists an hour prior to the performance to teach students about the orchestra, connect content of each performance to general elements of musical knowledge and allow students to make cross-curricular connections.

The Jacksonville Symphony’s First Coast Nutcracker ballet offers a wonderful way to learn while enjoying quality entertainment just days before the holiday break in December.
