Overview

The Philharmonia Northwest is proud to announce our newest Community Outreach Initiative projects! We are very excited about these upcoming events and want to invite you and your students to get involved with the Philharmonia Northwest!

We have many programs designed for students of all ages, and look forward to introducing them to the wonderful music and musicians of the Philharmonia Northwest.

The Philharmonia Northwest’s signature program is “Side-by-Side,” which is an opportunity for highly talented young musicians in the Seattle-region to participate in rehearsals and concerts with the Philharmonia Northwest. Each player is paired with a Philharmonia Northwest stand partner who supports and guides young musicians during the rehearsal and concert process. This is a wonderful opportunity for young musicians to get a taste of the “real” musical world and forge important relationships with mentors and community musicians in the region. 

In addition to this, Philharmonia Northwest invites young local ensembles to perform in our Prelude and Intermission concerts, which take place simultaneously with our concerts. Ensembles will have the opportunity to perform for Philharmonia Northwest audience members either before the concert or during intermission, and interact with community member before and after concerts. Students also receive free tickets to the concert!

Philharmonia Northwest also invites all school groups to attend our rehearsals. We are able to supply some music-based activity packs to teachers. Some students may draw their impressions of music during the concert or even supply short program notes, which will be shown in the lobby during our concerts!

Finally, Philharmonia Northwest can visit individual schools, providing outreach chamber music presentations and Q & A sessions for older music students looking to pursue a career as a musician. 

We also invite educators to inform us of your ideas for the Philharmonia Northwest! We want to know what your needs are as educators and how the Philharmonia Northwest can help. Please feel free to contact philnweducation@gmail.com and we can work on creating a program specifically designed for your institution.

Julia Tai and the entire Philharmonia Northwest thank you for your interest in our programs. We look forward to working with you and your students in the future.
