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 make music education accessible to all. Our music programs develop life skills and music abilities in 200 young new yorkers without access to quality music education due to disabilities, language barriers, or financial circumstances.
