Beethoven: Symphony No. 7
“I fell in love with classical music at the age of 6. I was playing with the radio dial and stumbled upon this music that was mesmerizing. I could not stop listening. That music was Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, which you hear today.
I wish you the same magic that it has had on me.”

One hour prior to every concert, Santa Cecilia Orchestra invites the audience to experience music by making music. We provide an array of instruments from each of the orchestra families - strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Adults and children are welcome to try
their firstinstrument, try a new instrument, experiment and have fun. You will never listen to a master performance the same way again!
Discovering Music
String Program
Mentorship
Discovering Music is the orchestra’s award winning educational program that has reached more than
100,000 children in 40 schools in Los Angeles. The program offers children maximum exposure and access tomusic, providing one orchestra musician per classroom for every
classroom in the school, assuring every child direct and personal contact with the musicians. The musicians’ willingness to share their experiences with music so freely invites a dynamic exchange with the children, who find a fascinating medium through which to explore their own potential.
Throughout a school year we offer more than 1,000 individual and chamber performances in classrooms!
Our free String Program consists of weekly one-hour
group lessons on violin, viola or cello throughout the school year.
The lessons take place during school hours to augment the regular curriculum and are taught by specially trained string instructors with extensive professional experience in music. Each year culminates in a performance for peers, families and the community.
Our mentorship program for middle school students–the most recent
addition to Discovering Music – includes exposure to a full range ofinstruments including all strings,
woodwinds, brass and percussion. The program was designed to help students who already play musical instruments with improving their technique and musicianship.
Every program in Discovering Music is free of a charge to the schools, children and families participating.
