In 2024-25, the Fresno Philharmonic, under the leadership of Rei Hotoda, will once again partner with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute to present Link Up: The Orchestra Sings in May 2025 in the William Saroyan Theatre. This highly interactive concert will be the culmination of an extensive in-class curriculum for recorder and voice in which over 7,000 students from throughout Fresno County will have the opportunity to perform with the Fresno Philharmonic. In 2024-25, Link Up is offered district wide in Fresno and Sanger unified school districts, as well as in several individual schools in partnership with the Fresno County Office of Education. The Fresno Philharmonic’s Link Up program has been recognized with the Yale School of Music’s Distinguished Music Educator Award and is the largest partnership between Fresno County Schools and a performing arts organization.

The Fresno Philharmonic is committed to fostering the next generation of musicians and music-lovers, and to improving the quality of life in our region through music education programs which reach more than 7,000 students annually. If you would like to learn more, please tap the link below.
