About the Partnership

Earlier this year, more than 1,100 Tulsa area students were treated to a remarkable blend of arts and science when the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra and Oklahoma Aquarium partnered to present Symphony by the Sea for Students.  The children rotated between three stations, each featuring a lesson on a particular environment or animal presented by an Aquarium biologist, followed by a musical selection performed by Tulsa Symphony Orchestra quartets and quintets. 

Volunteer and shark jaw

An Aquarium Volunteer Educator discusses shark behavior while Tulsa Symphony musicians prepare to play.

The first time program was so well received, the Orchestra and Aquarium vowed to expand Symphony by the Sea, making it available for more students.  To do that, the organizations are presenting Symphony by the Sea as a fundraiser for an adult audience. 

Both the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra and Oklahoma Aquarium are non-profit 501 (c) 3 organizations, so all donations are tax deductible and will be shared equally by the Orchestra and Aquarium to continue their educational efforts.
