OUR MISSION
|
The Children's Concert Society is a non-profit educational, volunteer organization founded in 1947. Our purpose is to foster music appreciation in the youth of the community by providing opportunities to experience the beauty of fine, live musical performances.
We offer all public, private, parochial schools and home school groups in Summit County and surrounding areas the opportunity to participate in three major program areas: |
CONCERT HALL SERIES
For a nominal fee, students attend a very special performance (ballet, symphony orchestra, opera) in a concert hall. Because the Series is funded through scholarships, no student is excluded from this event |
IN-SCHOOL CONCERT SERIES
A diverse selection of small instrumental, vocal and dance ensemble programs are made available to all public, private, parochial schools and home school groups in Summit County and surrounding areas at NO CHARGE to the schools.
|
SCHOLASTIC COMPOSER CONTEST
Students, grades K-12, are given the opportunity to show their talents individually or as a group through the composers contest. All compositions are reviewed by a panel of judges from the University of Akron’s School of Music Composition Department.
