Each year elementary students of the Long Beach Unified School District look forward to their musical field trip to the Symphony’s home—the Terrace Theater in downtown Long Beach. There they experience, often for the first time, stirring orchestral works performed by world-class musicians.

Under the direction of Principal Pops Conductor, Steven Reineke, in the 2009 – 2010 school year, over the course of just two mornings, the orchestra will perform four concerts for around 10,000 fifth-grade students and their teachers. This year, as in several previous years, LBUSD high school honors orchestra members will sit and play “side by side” with our Long Beach Symphony orchestra members.

These specially themed Symphony Concerts for Young People are made possible by the generous support of the Earl B. and Loraine H. Miller Foundation.
