About Symphony Soup
Symphony Soup is a special way for students in Kindergarten through third grade to learn about classical music through the experience of a live symphony concert. Symphony Soup conveys the way ingredients, spices, and flavors combine in a delicious bowl of soup, just as musical instruments come together to create beautiful music that can lift and refresh the soul. Bon Appétit!
This concert is also the capstone performance of our Up Close & Musical® program.

It’s a great connection. The children get to see their friends perform. They can hear them make incredible music.
