ASO’s innovative Connecting with Music initiative transitions through the 2025-2026 season to a program providing in-school chamber music performances for middle school students presented by ASO Musician Teaching Artists and supported by additional classroom interaction and mentoring. In commemoration and celebration of the coming 250th anniversary of the signing of our nation’s Declaration of Independence (America250), the theme of our 2025-2026 Connecting with Music school performances is “American Identity” and will feature all American composers.
