Reilly Arts Center Community Outreach Programs

The Reilly and the Ocala Symphony Orchestra’s missions have always been larger than just making music and performances happen. We strive to impact the community around us – to leave a lasting impression on the hearts and souls of our neighbors.

Open Rehearsals: Open Rehearsals give families and students an opportunity to enjoy the orchestra in a relaxed environment, while experiencing an educational, behind-the-curtain view on how a symphony prepares for a professional concert! Open rehearsal are free and open to the public. While there are no tickets, we appreciate knowing that you plan to attend! We do serve pizza and soda on a first come first serve basis, so if interested please email Savannah@reillyartscenter.com and let us know you’ll be joining us.

Symphony for Schools: The Symphony for Schools program takes professional musicians into Marion County classrooms for a 30-minute fun and educational presentation. Our musicians demonstrate orchestral instruments, perform sections of pieces from Mozart to Moana, and get the students involved! The goal of the presentation is to give students an insight into the fun, empowering and empowering feelings that music and playing a musical instrument can bring.

Community Ticket Program: The Reilly Arts Center distributes more than 500 tickets to veteran, senior, mental health and child advocacy programs in Marion County annually.
