The Houston Symphony announced new programming for its In Harmony initiative for the 2024-25 season.

In Harmony initiative is community-based after school music program that aims to provide music education, and promote life skills through active music-making. This is the programs third year operating.

In partnership with the American Festival for the Arts and other local community organizations, the company can now introduce new programs. These additions are DeLUXE K!DS, reVision In Harmony, and Segundo Barrio Children’s Chorus En Armonía Violin Discovery Series. Each program is tailored to the specific community partner, including culturally relevant musical content that allows children to celebrate and share their cultural traditions.

“We’re thrilled to expand the In Harmony program to even more communities in Houston,” said Sippi Khurana, the Chair of Houston Symphony’s Education and Community Engagement Committee, in a press release. “This program provides access to music education, but it also creates a safe space for kids to learn, grow, and communicate. We’re excited to partner with Segundo Barrio Chldren’s Chorus (SBCC) and reVision and bring the life-changing power of music to young people.”

Each group will celebrate their achievements by performing an end of term concert.
