Mission

Harmonic South String Orchestra, Inc. provides string orchestral music instruction and free or low-cost performance opportunities to youth in underserved (typically minority) communities.

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2023

Program accomplishments

  • Harmonic South String Orchestra (HSSO) is a music education and performing arts organization currently serving Memphis youth ages 5-18. With a special emphasis on South Memphis, HSSO teaches children who might otherwise have no opportunity for string orchestra lessons to play string instruments, and to appreciate a wider range of music and cultural experiences and exposure than their individual families or neighborhoods might provide. In addition to providing fun and enjoyment, the experience of learning, practicing and performing music instills confidence and teaches life skills that help the students in school and beyond. Their participation in recitals, Fall and Spring concerts and other music performances benefits not only the students themselves, but also the families and communities who might otherwise have limited exposure to live orchestral music.
