Education &
Community Engagement (EdCE)

We believe orchestral music is for everyone. We’re committed to providing a wide array of opportunities for people throughout our community to encounter the life-enriching power of classical music.

Our EdCE Programming brings new and diverse musical experiences to more than 10,000 people from across Boulder County and beyond. Our robust educational programs continue to connect, inspire and enrich people of all ages through music. Boulder Phil is grateful for the generous support of individuals, organizations and communities that makes these programs possible.
