Butler County Symphony Orchestra Education

The mission of the Butler County Symphony Association is to provide quality symphonic and classical music to the surrounding community, act as an educational resource to the local schools, and provide a venue for community musicians to grow. In order to fulfill this mission, there are several Education Initiatives throughout the season culminating with the Education Concert in March of each year. Support for these initiatives is needed in order for us to provide these programs to the area school free of cost.
