Organization Summary
Classics 4 Kids (C4K) is dedicated to making music education accessible for every child, unlocking the transformative potential of the arts! We engage K-12 students with thrilling orchestra concerts, energetic in-school assemblies, and interactive virtual learning that keeps them inspired.
Our engaging programs connect music with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), literature, and cultural themes, all in line with California Arts Standards and National Core Arts Standards. We prioritize social-emotional learning and proudly highlight the vital contributions of diverse composers and local artists.
