CLASSICOOL is our classical music in school initiative. We send musicians to schools for concerts, music appreciation classes and workshops.
Education has been an important aspect of Lyric since its inception. It is part of our commitment and responsibility to introduce children from all backgrounds to classical music. Our education programming began in April 1998, at our second public offering, when the great flutist, Jean-Pierre Rampal performed at two events in one day for NYC kids. Ever since, Lyric has brought chamber music to more than 5000 students, and counting.
​
Interested schools are welcome to contact our Executive Director.
