Community Outreach

We harness the transformative power of live music to build community and to inspire the inner creative spirit in each of us.

Musical Mentors: Inspiring Young Minds

Musical Mentors gives children an up front and personal connection with professional musicians. In partnership with the Golden Isles Youth Orchestra (GIYO) we are bringing this experience to fifth graders throughout the Golden Isles in both public and private school settings. In a weeklong program, students learn the basics of playing the violin, as well as a short piece to play with their Mentor who arrives at the end of the week.

We reach as many as 1,000 students during a school year, fostering a love for music in their lives, and our scheduling these student connections for the 2025-2026 school year.

Musical Mentors Program Visits CB Greer Elementary School

March 28th, 2025, the Coastal Symphony of Georgia's Musical Mentors Program partnered with the Golden Isles Youth Orchestra (GIYO) to bring an inspiring musical experience to the 5th-grade students at CB Greer Elementary School.

Throughout the week, students learned the basics of playing the violin, including plucking and bowing techniques, and even mastered a short unison piece. On the Friday, they had the exciting opportunity to meet a professional musician, Hannah Barrow, who shared her journey as a violinist and performed for the students.

The day concluded with students showcasing their newly learned skills by performing together, receiving certificates of completion, and learning about future opportunities in music.

This collaboration between the Coastal Symphony of Georgia and GIYO continues to inspire young minds and foster a love for music in our local schools. 🎼

Community Engagement

CSG ensembles often perform outside the concert hall to bring music to those who cannot attend our concerts. We partner with other community organizations to make these free performances available to the public. Our musicians have performed at Memorial Day events, community outreach programs at the Rise Risley Community Center, downtown Brunswick Christmas Tree Lighting among others. Plans are underway for events coming in the 2025-2026 Symphony season.

We are planning 2026-2027 community engagements and will publicize these performances soon.
