Our Program

Expand access to symphonic music

Promote cultural and social transformations

Created in 2005, Osesp Foundation is the cultural entity responsible for management of São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (Osesp) and Sala São Paulo, and we work on the promotion of music and education programs. Our purpose is to expand access to classical music, attracting new audiences and offering music training to children and young people through initiatives such as the Music Academy and Children and Youth choirs.

Be part of it

Annually, we broadcast 54 digital concerts and captivating over 114 thousand people at the concerts held at Sala São Paulo. We offer around 60 scholarships aimed at high potential young people, enabling them to learn and perform with the artistic core of Osesp. Also, we provide training for more than 1400 teachers, who in turn teach over 23 thousand students about symphonic music inclassrooms.
