Each year, thousands of students throughout the greater Columbus area participate in the Columbus Symphony’s Young People's Concerts at the Ohio Theatre. Concert programming is thematically based, grade-appropriate, and aligned with current Ohio Academic Standards.
Our Concert Guidebooks include pre- and post-concert listening maps, worksheets, and activities to guide students and facilitate a wraparound educational experience.
All tickets are $5 (students and adults), and include access to free digital concert resources and a Spotify concert playlist. One adult ticket is included for every 20 students.
Need-based transportation grants are available through our Bee-thoven Express Bus Grant program HERE (information will also be included in your registration confirmation).
*Please Note:
Due to overwhelming popularity, Sound Lab Symphony on October 1 is currently at capacity for large groups arriving in buses. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, you may still select this option and complete the form.
If your group is smaller and arriving by car, we may still be able to accommodate you.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out to amarini@columbussymphony.com with questions or for further information.
