Music Advocacy

The DuPage Symphony Embraces Music Education

The DSO believes that the Arts should be considered an essential part of every child’s comprehensive K-12 education. Scientific research has shown that, in addition to providing social and mental health benefits, music education enhances cognitive development and helps students build a competitive advantage for success in school, work, and life. The DSO strongly believes in the benefits of a music education and advocates for high quality music programs through its partnerships with area schools and local music stores, as well as through its involvement in a wide variety of community events.

With our youth educational and community engagement programs, the DSO strives to enrich our community and bring the real-life experience of symphonic music to new audiences. You can learn more about our youth resources here.
