The Coachella Valley Symphony Educational Outreach Program began in 1995, when Jeannette Banoczi founded the Buddy Rogers Youth Symphony as a full orchestra experience for the young musicians of our valley. The program expanded in 1997 with the initiation of the Beginning Strings Conservatory to offer beginning stringed-instrument instruction to elementary school students, completely free of charge. The Symphony's educational outreach provides teachers in eight schools in the Coachella Valley, from Palm Springs to Indio, with plans to continue to expand the program within the various desert communities. Thus, we enrich our children's lives by promoting creativity, aesthetic awareness, and cultural growth.
