Busing and Transportation

 

The Billy Joel School Concert Fund also provides free transportation to and from School District of Philadelphia public schools and the Kimmel Center for School Concerts. If you would like to take advantage of this offering, The Philadelphia Orchestra will make a bus reservation on your behalf and will forward the details to you prior to the concert date.

We recommend arriving at the Kimmel Center approximately 35-minutes before the concert begins to allow plenty of time to unload your buses, use the restroom if necessary, and be seated in time for the performance. Please contact us if you are unsure of a pick-up time at this point or if you need to make changes your bus arrangements at a later date.

Docent Visit

 

Enhance the quality of your School Concert experience with a free classroom visit from an Orchestra Docent. These enthusiastic volunteers help prepare students to attend our School Concerts with a presentation designed to increase their knowledge and understanding of the music, the orchestra, and the concert hall. Check the box below to be contacted by an Orchestra Docent about scheduling your classroom visit. If you are not the music/classroom teacher at your school, please ensure our Docents can be in touch with the classroom teacher directly prior to their visit.

 

Please note:

Docent visit requests made less than four weeks before your scheduled concert cannot be accommodated.
