IMPORTANT CHANGES – PLEASE READ
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will begin charging a $5 per student fee for all of our education concerts starting this year (2011-2012). This carefully researched decision is necessary in order to ensure the RPO’s education concerts are financially viable, protecting our ability to continue these programs as well as the overall fiscal health of our orchestra. By charging a nominal fee for these concerts, the RPO will be aligned with other educational arts programs, both locally and nationally. In order to make this transition as easy as possible, we are providing the following guidelines:
- Due to sponsorship requirements, Rochester City School District students will be given preference in scheduling.
- We are now allowing all schools to bring any or all grade levels (1st through 3rd).
- Teachers and chaperones will not be charged. We are recommending 2 per class. Please contact us if you feel you have special circumstances.
- Schools will be invoiced immediately following the concert for payment.
Thank you for your understanding of our new policies – and for your continued support of the RPO’s education concerts!
