The Lyceum Orchestras Program is an incomparable combination of everything that music is meant to be — joy, refinement, belonging, and fun. It offers kids the kind of opportunities that make music exciting and cool. It provides an environment that isn’t blindly affixed upon purposeless perfection, but rather a more selfless pursuit of excellence. My favorite part of Lyceum is its inherent spirituality. There is a special feeling suggesting a profound development not only of the body and mind, but of the soul.
Growing up I have been in countless performing groups and orchestras, but I have never loved one the way I love Lyceum…This orchestra has brought meaning and love of music back into my life.
The Lyceum music program has been invaluable to my kids during their school years. Their greatest experiences and friends have come from being in this program. As a parent, I will always be grateful for the skills, experiences, confidence, and life lessons they have gained by being a part of the Lyceum orchestras!
My daughters love Lyceum! Orchestra rehearsal is a highlight of their week! Beautiful music, fun friends, and an inspiring conductor make for a terrific experience!
