I heard the above metric a week ago when I accompanied my son to the Hilbert Circle Theatre on a school field trip. The distinction of being one of the few full-time orchestras in the country cannot be overstated. The Mission of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is: To inspire, entertain, educate and challenge through innovative programs and symphonic music performed at the highest artistic level Founded in 1930, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is one of the few full-time symphonic orchestras in the US. Annually the ISO presents nearly 200 concerts. In addition to the many classical and pops concerts in its home, the magnificent Hilbert Circle Theatre at Symphony Centre, the Orchestra is regularly heard in communities around Indiana and at the Marsh® Symphony on the Prairie® series each summer. Created in 1994, the Orchestra’s syndicated radio series, Indianapolis On-The-Air, now represents Indiana to the nation on 250 stations in 38 states. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to leading in music education. Symphony musicians and staff create innovative learning opportunities for all ages inspired by the power of music. These include the pioneering and award-winning Arts Everyday program that addresses state-mandated standards of achievement as well as additional programs, workshops, and resources. In 2005, the one-millionth child attended The Sallie Mae Fund Young People’s Discovery Concerts, a series of concerts for students in the third through sixth grades. Each year, more than 25,000 students from around the state attend the daytime concerts
