THE 70 FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS IN THE SYMPHONY PERFORM MORE THAN 125 CONCERTS EACH SEASON FOR OVER 200,000 PATRONS. 838659 4500 182900 EDUCATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE MISSION OF THE MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND COMPRISES TWO MAIN COMPONENTS: K-12 IN-SCHOOL AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED, HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TRAINING OF YOUNG PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS STARS OF TOMORROW CONCERTS AND SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPETITION, AND THE WISCONSIN YOUTH PIANO COMPEITION. THE K-12 EDUCATION PROGRAMS OF THE MSO NOT ONLY PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, THEY ALSO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EXPOSURE AND EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS REQUIRED BY THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
