About
The Guild presents the annual Student Concert for thousands of school children and their teachers in central Illinois, a tradition since 1958.
Up to 4,400 public school students from around the region experience one of two free one-hour live performances from the PSO at the Peoria Civic Center. The concert features the guest artists and a solo performance from the winner of the Annual Young Artist Competition.
For 73 years, central Illinois school children from the third to twelfth grades have taken a field trip to the Guild-sponsored Annual Student Concert to experience a one-hour performance of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra. For some participants, this field trip supplements a rich music curriculum; for others, it is a rare exposure to classical music.
This concert also features the winner of the Symphony Guild’s Young Artists Competition performing their concerto with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra! PSO Music Director George Stelluto is always very creative in his approach to the Student Concerts.
We look forward to your attendance at this wonderful annual event!
