The Florida Orchestra Strings Project-Summer 2024

The Florida Orchestra Strings Project aims to teach life skills through music to young people throughout Tampa Bay. This summer, TFO partnered with the Greater Ridgecrest YMCA and others to offer the program as a summer camp to middle schoolers in the Ridgecrest community - an opportunity many students would not have any other way. TFO provides the string instruments, teachers and materials at no cost for the program. TFO Strings Project is just one part of the orchestra’s Education and Community Engagement Department, which serves more than 60,000 in our community each season with free or low-cost music experiences each.
