New Philharmonia’s mission and vision — “Music for All” — has inspired extensive work bringing live musical experiences introducing music and the orchestra to thousands of listeners across the Boston area. In additional to the many family concerts presented annually since 1995 the orchestra was a weekly partner in the life of the Oliver Hazard Perry School in South Boston and other Boston Public Schools for nearly 20 years – as sponsored by John Hancock Financial Services. This unique program brought performances and weekly general music and string instrument instruction into the lives of children in the BPS system who otherwise would never have such an opportunity.
