Symphony in Color

A Unique Blending of Symphonic Music and Visual Arts

About

Symphony in Color is an annual enrichment program of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association

It offers a unique blending of symphonic music & visual arts, involving more than 30,000 Indiana school children in grades 1-6

Symphony in Color culminates in a juried exhibition at the Hilbert Circle Theatre and the Indiana State Museum

Symphony in Color shows the immense creativity that young people are capable of expressing when engaged in music and art. My wife, Joanna, and I strongly believe that that opportunities like this are incredibly important, and we can’t wait to be inspired by what the children will create this year!
