Symphonic and Chamber Music Concerts: four symphonic concerts and four chamber music concerts each year.

Public Education Series in Partnership with the Berkeley Unified School District: Music in the Schools offers a total of 200 in-class sessions led by Berkeley Symphony (BSO) musicians and eleven “Meet the Symphony” concerts, one at each BUSD elementary school each year. Six “I’m a Performer!” concerts at BUSD elementary schools each Spring, providing young musicians opportunities to rehearse and perform alongside Berkeley Symphony musicians.

All Music in the Schools programming is provided 100% free of charge for children and their families.

Launched in 2022, the Music in the Schools program expanded to include an initiative titled “Elevate” which bridges the gap for BIPOC students at key transition points in BUSD instrumental music engagement: third grade, where students select their primary instrument, sixth grade, where students shift from music being required to being an elective, and twelfth grade, where students need guidance during the college application process.

Also launched in 2022 was the Students at the Symphony program which provides K-12 students with free admission to all symphonic concerts, with $15 adult companion tickets.
