About The Festival

The Worcester Youth Orchestras is please to present the 2025 String Fest, a collaborative concert with the Worcester Youth Philharmonic Strings & String Orchestra, Quabbin Regional School District String Program. The performance is a capstone, representing a year long program generously funded by the Greater Worcester Community Foundation through their Community Grant Projects. 

Over the course of the year, WYO & Quabbin have benefited from an Artist-in-Residence, Patrick Chatham, who has visited Ruggles Elementary School (Barre) each week to work side by side with young string students during the regular school day, as well as attending WYO rehearsals and working string students in the Philharmonic & String Orchestra. Funding from the GWCF provided complimentary instruction and strengthened access to education, working in tandem with Quabbin educators.

Today’s performance is the culmination of this year’s work amongst all programs, forging new relationships and opportunities for students in the Worcester and Quabbin Region. The program was designed and funded to strengthen community access to the arts.
