School Day Event | For Grades 3-12

Now Reserving 2025/2026 Field Trips

Discover how an orchestra works from the inside out. Students will enjoy a private chamber ensemble performance by ASO musicians or special guests, followed by an open Q&A in a relaxed, conversational setting – an opportunity to hear firsthand what it's like to be a professional musician.

The experience continues with a behind-the-scenes tour of Symphony Hall, where students can walk on stage, explore production areas, and meet the various departments that bring the symphony to life.

Programs are tailored to fit each group's age and level of musical experience, designed especially for instrumental students from late elementary through high school.

For any questions, please email asoeducation@atlantasymphony.org.

Fee: Tickets are $10 per student; chaperones are free.
Schedule: 10am-12pm
Location: Woodruff Arts Center | Beauchamp Carr Room
