Welcome to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's Sound Discoveries* Young People's Concerts and annual Joint Concert of the CSO and Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. Each season more than 20,000 students from over 150 schools and groups from Southeast Indiana, Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio attend the CSO's Young People's Concerts in Music Hall. Besides our concerts at Music Hall, we invite you to attend our Teacher’s Workshops or to have CSO Musicians visit your school.

CSO/CSYO Side-by Side Concert
Grades 4-12 (approximately 1 hour)
Wednesday, April 23 at 10:30 AM
Each season the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra combines forces with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra to perform an exciting side-by-side concert. Little can be more inspiring than the spectacle of almost 200 musicians on stage playing some of the world’s finest music together.

A special feature of the concert is the performance of movements from the solo concerto repertoire by the winner of the annual CSYO Concerto Competition. Audience members are given the rare opportunity to see and hear their peers performing next to professional musicians and as soloists with the CSO. The Side-by-Side is a truly exciting event and is recommended for students in grades 4-12.

CSO Young People’s Concert Teacher’s Guide
To help introduce your students to orchestral music and the experience of live performance, a Teacher’s Guide with lesson plans and CDs of music to be performed is available. These materials, created in part by the CSO’s Advisory Committee for Education (ACE), enable teachers to make the most of their students’ concert-going experience.
In an effort to provide a more robust Teacher’s Guide, the full guide is available online for download. The online guide features links and other items of interest not available in hard copy.  For the 2013-2014 season, guides will not be sent automatically. If you would like a hard copy of the guide, please be sure to enclose an additional $5 with your order to offset postage costs. CDs will be sent for all orders at no charge.

For any questions regarding education concerts, please call 513.621.1919
