PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Buy a ticket to a Broadway show or an orchestra concert and you are helping to support one of the many free education programs that the Philadelphia Orchestra & Ensemble Arts provides every year.
The nonprofit partners with the Philadelphia School District to provide arts education.
Sound All Around introduces the youngest listeners from all over the region to the instruments of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Jazz for Freedom teaches middle schoolers about jazz as it relates to social change.
There are summer sessions for music and theater, and registration is open now for a student matinee series called Set the Stage that teaches elementary and middle school students the ins and outs of musical theater.
And if you're going to see a Broadway show, make a night of it. The City of Philadelphia estimates that-from restaurants to hotel rooms- people coming to see the arts pour $4B/year into the local economy.
Bring a bunch of friends to the show and you'll get a 10% discount on tickets for groups of 10+.
