HARMONIZING LIVES: Strengthening Communities through Musical Action

Orchestrating Dreams provides high-quality music education programs to develop life skills and music abilities of 200 diverse youth in New York City communities.

Our musical community is diverse, inclusive of all levels and ages, and our multicultural musical approach, and bilingual instruction, makes our programs accessible.

Each year we provide $180,000 in financial assistance to help close the access gap for under-resourced communities.

“My daughter has improved socially, academically and emotionally since beginning at Orchestrating Dreams. She may have a disability but it doesn’t stop her from trying her best. This music program has stretched her reasoning abilities further than imagined and for that we are truly grateful. We have grown individually and collectively. To be a member of OD is to become family. Thank you for teaching us!”
