Ravinia’s Reach Teach Play
Education Programs Partnership

For over 20 years, Ravinia Festival‘s Reach Teach Play education programs and the 112 Education Foundation have partnered to bring high quality musical residencies and performances to Highland Park elementary and middle school students.  Ravinia brings top Chicago musicians to work with the students in band, orchestra and choir. Middle school musicians are also invited to perform in the renowned Bennett Gordon Hall on Ravinia’s campus.

Each year all fifth graders have the opportunity to attend a musical performance at Ravinia.  The Reach Teach Play education programs host the annual Kids Go Classic concert at Ravinia Festival where hundreds of District 112 students and their families are given gratis lawn passes to attend a summer concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
