Families to the Phil Live music experiences play a crucial role in inspiring a child to develop an abiding love for the art form of music. Families to the Phil provides young people from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds the opportunity to share the powerful experience of a live, fully professional symphonic concert with their family. Each season we underwrite tickets for Chicago Philharmonic symphonic concerts for students and family members from a list of Chicago-area public schools, community music schools, and youth orchestras.
