The Winston-Salem Symphony Partners with African Library Project

As many symphony orchestras struggle to stay relevant in our constantly evolving society, the Winston-Salem Symphony has chosen to take the lead and institute an innovative educational program that will elicit social and cultural change on the local and global level. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Mary Starling In-School Education Program and will be centered around the theme of storytelling and music. In conjunction with this theme, the issue of literacy will be addressed through a book drive for the African Library Project at local schools; a short story competition with winners being awarded brand new violins, and lessons for an entire school year with WSS musicians; and a concert featuring the great stories in classical music.


The Mary Starling Program is the Winston-Salem Symphony’s single largest educational program in Forsyth County for students ages 9-12. Named in honor of a former Symphony Guild member with a passion for music education, the Mary Starling Program offers an introduction to orchestral music for the students of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools through a combination of intimate ensemble performances culminating with a full orchestra concert. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the program will continue to reach all 4th and 5th students enrolled in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools free of charge.
