Tocando Music Project was honored with the Manhattan Institute 2020 Civil Society Awards.
The El Paso Symphony Orchestra’s Tocando Music Project is an in-school and after-school program that currently provides music learning and performance opportunities to students in elementary through high school. Students enjoy weekly classes, UTEP Career Days, week-long Summer Music Camps, performance opportunities throughout the area, and tickets to each EPSO Classical Concert for themselves and their families.
Students perform concerts at their home schools as well as various venues throughout the community and city including the Plaza and Chavez Theaters. Students are invited to participate in the El Paso Symphony Youth Orchestra under full scholarships.
In August 2024 Tocando began the Bowie High School Feeder School Initiative (FSI) which provides an opportunity for students from the three elementary , one middle and one high school to attend programming at the Guillen Middle School Annex. Students from surrounding campuses receive bus transportation from their school campus to Guillen where they join with other like-minded young musicians in the area to learn an instrument and to perform wonderful music.
Tocando is a scholarship-based program that is funded 100% through donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations who see its value in the young students who benefit from it. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated.
