Silicon Valley is synonymous with innovation, and providing the building blocks of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) is critical to developing the whole child and preparing them for the future. Symphony San Jose invites students from schools across our community to experience the unique relationships these areas have on one another through a multi-curriculum program that culminates in an exciting live orchestral performance at San Jose’s majestic California Theatre.

By sparking curiosity and confidence, we invest in our youth. Symphony San Jose is dedicated to making the transformative experience of live musical experiences accessible to all. Through Students at the Symphony, we have touched the lives of more than 120,000 students, teachers, and parent chaperones to date.

Philharmonia Fantastique

Mason Bates’ concerto for orchestra and animated film explores the age-old connection between creativity and technology as our magical Sprite gives us a kinetic and cutting-edge guide to the orchestra.

“A brilliant tutorial on the magic of the modern orchestra. In the art of marrying music with animation Philharmonia Fantastique is the biggest step forward since Fantasia itself” – John Williams
