NYCTUG, have you heard what's happening nearby in Philadelphia? Pretty cool initiatives happening with Philadelphia Orchestra:
The Philadelphia Orchestra expands and adds social-impact programs under an umbrella program called HEAR (health, education, access and research.) Programs include working with music therapists caring for trauma patients, increased mentoring through the All-City Orchestra, expanding the LiveNote app to include a track for children, and mapping music education programs to identify gaps in offerings.http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20160407_Phila__Orchestra_expands_programs_that_employ_music_for_social_impact.html
