Billy Joel School Concert Program

Established in 2008 with a donation from legendary singer-songwriter and composer Billy Joel, the Billy Joel Fund for Music Education is specifically earmarked to expand and improve music education in the School District of Philadelphia. The Billy Joel School Concert Program provides underserved city schoolchildren access to the Orchestra’s School Concerts and serves approximately 80 elementary and middle schools chosen from within the district. Since its inception, the Billy Joel Program has brought more than 10,000 student and teachers to hear The Philadelphia Orchestra.
