Exciting Events for the School Year


2025-26 season school programs will be announced this summer.


 
School Program 11

Meet the Conductor

Collier County and Lee County Middle and High Schools
Artistic Leadership of the Naples Philharmonic

Open to all public and private middle and high school orchestras, this program brings Naples Philharmonic Associate Conductor Manuel López-Gómez or Naples Philharmonic Assistant Conductor Alvin Ho to a rehearsal in the school. Students will experience playing under the baton of a professional conductor while the orchestra director observes and learns new techniques and rehearsal strategies.
