LSO gets creative in educational outreach
A past performance of the Lima Symphony Orchestra.

LIMA An unexpected donation to the Lima Symphony Orchestra, which has relied on digital audiences since coronavirus restrictions forced entertainment venues to halt live performances last year, shows how the symphony can expand its reach beyond Lima online.
A Lima native now living in Minnesota came across the symphony’s Mornings with the Maestro videos on YouTube while searching for virtual experiences to share with his children.
The free educational programs, designed to introduce children to the fine arts, inspired the family to watch LSO’s annual Bells, Brass and Bows concert, which was streamed online in December, and eventually led the family to donate to the symphony to support its programming that they had been consuming for free.
