Since our first concert for young people in 1941, the North Carolina Symphony has been committed to educating and inspiring the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Throughout the year, we work hand-in-hand with outstanding music educators who help carry out the Symphony’s programs in their schools and work every day to build their students’ musical skills and appreciation. Set in motion by Dr. Benjamin and Maxine Swalin, the Symphony’s music education program is now the most extensive of any symphony orchestra, engaging more than 150,000 students across North Carolina and beyond through our digital and in-person education programs.

The North Carolina Symphony’s annual Music Educator Awards recognize outstanding teachers who make a lasting difference in the lives of students of all abilities and backgrounds; serve the community in an exemplary manner as a role model in music education; inspire students to reach high musical standards; and instill a love for music in children. Honorees receive monetary awards generously funded by the Jennie H. Wallace Educator Award Fund.

The 2021/22 Music Educator Awards will be presented at the concert on Saturday, November 19th. Click here to read more about the awards and this year's honorees.

Thank you to the State of North Carolina, lead education sustainers Truist and the John William Pope Foundation, and many other generous supporters for making our music education programs possible.
