KO Board

In a regional culture defined by music, Kids' Orchestra supports the preservation of our musical heritage while nurturing the next generation of citizens and providing students with a safe space and creative outlet during the afterschool hours. Your gift today helps us prioritize serving students and schools with the most need, and offer income-based tuition on a sliding scale - covering up to 97.25% of tuition. 

KO programming has been proven to encourage success and show quantitative gains in academic and social measures, with KO students demonstrating higher academic scores than non-KO students in ELA, Math, Social Studies, Science, and on the LEAP test (+29 points). According to student and family surveys, 89% of students believed they could face challenges and succeed, 80% of families reported seeing a boost in their child’s self-confidence, and 84% of students say they felt happy and supported while participating in KO.
