Educational Work
The Brooklyn Philharmonic develops, financially supports and staffs some of the largest educational programs specifically aimed at financially disadvantaged children in New York. The Philharmonic’s “Smart Arts Academy,” to cite one example, provides free daily music, arts, dance, theater, sports, movie making, and enrichment activities to about 250 students per school annually totaling some 6,000 students from New York’s most financially challenged public schools. The Philharmonic’s educational programs are supported by funds obtained by and for the orchestra.
