Through collaborative music-making activities and events designed for people of all ages and types of musical abilities, LexPhil’s Learning and Partnership programs create space for learning, joy, and community building throughout Lexington and beyond.
The 2023-2024 season will expand and build on programs launched in 2022-2023. Highlights include increasing the number of school residency partners, expanded opportunities for students to Meet, Play, and Learn with guest artists and LexPhil musicians, and continued partnerships with arts and civic partners to connect with our community.
