Peer To Peer

SLSO IN UNISON and the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra teamed  up in 2015 to introduce SLSO Peer to Peer. This unique mentoring  program pairs musicians of the YO with dedicated Black and Latinx music  students from Gateway Music Outreach (GMO).

Student pairs meet weekly in person or online. SLSO musicians serve  as coaches for each student pair during regular meetings throughout the  school year. Student pairs attend SLSO and YO concerts together  throughout the season and perform as part of the annual IN UNISON  Community Concert held each spring.

Once accepted into Peer to Peer, students are invited to remain in the program until they graduate from high school. 

Space in this program is limited.

To be eligible for Peer to Peer, students must participate in their  middle or high school band or orchestra program and currently be  enrolled in and have participated for a minimum of one school year in a GMO program. To learn more about applying to Peer to Peer, please contact us.
