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.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or work:
“We do not have to get our children to learn; only to allow and encourage them in their learning. We do not have to dictate what they should learn; only to discern and respond to what it is that they are learning. Such responsiveness is at once the most educational and the most loving.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Let us work without theorizing, ‘tis the only way to make life endurable.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
