“Because I went to the Youth Concert, I learned that many composers and a lot of music come from Long Island.”

2008-2009 Youth Concerts

Inspire and enthrall your students with the LI Philharmonic's annual educational concerts for grades 1-8, a musical tour around our great state. Maestro Wiley and the Orchestra perform works by New York composers Louis Armstrong, Aaron Copland, Morton Gould, Billy Joel and others, as well as composers with ties to New York including Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Rachmaninoff and Sousa. These concerts are an exciting and creative way to introduce students to a live symphony orchestra.
