Mission

Orchestrating Dreams bridges the gap of equity in music education. We develop skills for the 21st century citizen artist while giving young New Yorkers tools to support their own resilience, curiosity and agency in the world. Orchestrating Dreams’ mission is to strengthen diverse communities through accessible high quality music education programs and to help individuals develop resiliency and a lifelong love for learning. We serve our community by providing financial aid to everyone who needs it in order to continue their music studies. Participants receive private lessons in violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, and composition as well as orchestra classes. We offer internships and mentorship opportunities for teens and young adults and organize cultural events in the community.
