Sponsor a Program
OKTC: Orchestrating Kids Through Classics™
Each year, every Lexington third grader and thousands of children from greater Boston hear a real live orchestra, learn the history of classical music, and are often inspired to play an instrument—a lifelong impact! Kids listen, laugh, cheer, and “conduct” from their seats—engaged, entertained, and educated by Lexington Symphony’s Orchestrating Kids Through Classics™ (OKTC).
Since 2009, Lexington Symphony has performed for over 20,000 students across the state, including providing scholarships to underserved communities such as Somerville, Lawrence, and Dorchester. Most participants have never seen a live orchestra before. Corporate and individual support makes it possible for Lexington Symphony to perform OKTC, the original award-winning educational program created to introduce children to the instruments of the orchestra, and the history of classical music.
The program includes an up-close classroom visit by a team of Lexington Symphony musicians. This is followed, a few weeks later, by a trip through time with the whole orchestra, from chanting monks to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky… all the way to John Williams’ thrilling Star Wars theme, with a special guest from the dark side!
Lexington Symphony has presented OKTC to packed halls in Lexington, Burlington, and Framingham.
OKTC has had a huge impact on enrollment in the Lexington Public Schools’ instrumental music program and is now a regular part of Lexington’s elementary school arts education.
