Family Field Trips
PYP is happy to invite middle and high-school band and orchestra classes (and their families) to a special way to experience classical music, with our newest program, the Family Field Trip!
You will hear our highest level ensemble, The Portland Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, perform a full-length concert about 2 hours long, with a 15 minute intermission.
Directors or Organizing Parents can sign up here.
Family Field Trips include:
- Free Tickets
Free tickets to one of our Schnitzer Series concerts for musicians, teachers, and families (including siblings; recommended for children 8 and older).
- Free Transportation
Subsidized bus travel to and from a school in your District. No need to look for parking in Downtown Portland!
The response from participating classes and families has been unqualifiedly positive:
- “Lots of parents and students shared super positive feedback with me on the way back to the school. Lots of audible noises of joy and appreciation/wonder throughout the concert as well :) It would be great if this could be a recurring event!” – Band Director
- “It was the best experience we had all year!” – Band Director
- “Absolutely recommend—the music was beautiful and inspired my kid to continue! It was such a treasure to experience something like that with my kid.” – Parent
