The mso's standard of excellence extends beyond the concert hall and into the community, reaching more than 30,000 children and their families through its arts in community education (ace) program, youth and teen concerts, family series, and meet the music pre-concert talks. Celebrating its 35th year, the nationally recognized ace program integrates arts education across all subjects and disciplines, providing opportunities for students when budget cuts may eliminate arts programming. The program provides lesson plans and supporting materials, classroom visits from mso musician ensembles and artists from local organizations, and an mso concert tailored to each grade level. This season, more than 5,900 students and 500 teachers and faculty are expected to participate in ace both in person and in a virtual format.
