One Found Sound believes that music education can empower future generations of musicians and music lovers. Our education program, the Young Listeners Project, is focused on democratic and collaborative music making, designed together with community members and families to address the unique needs of our community.
The Young Listeners Project serves families and youth in San Francisco’s Tenderloin and SoMA districts with bilingual Spanish-English workshops and concerts. This program is produced in partnership with La Voz Latina.
Programming includes:
Live performance-based workshops, featuring up-close introductions to orchestral instruments
Family orchestral concerts, created just for young people
Interactive Q&A sessions
Safe, culturally-aware, and welcoming spaces where curiosity and imagination thrive
2026/27 program calendar & details coming this summer!
