Children's Concerts

Funding to support children's concerts comes from the West Point Fund of the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, Inc., with additional support from The Junior Service League and the LSO.

Since 1991, the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra, in cooperation with the Troup County Board of Education and the Junior Service League, has given a concert to 3,300 third and fourth grade students (including home schooled children from the area) each year, keyed to their age level and interest.

Since 2000, in cooperation with Chambers County Board of Education, schools in the Chambers County area have been included with separate concerts at Langdale Auditorium. Weeks before the concert, music teachers teach the musical program and the identification of the instruments in order to enhance the experience for the students. Teachers select students to write concert reviews, which are published in the LaGrange Daily News and the Valley Times respectively.
