Symphony Scholars is a partnership between the State Theatre New Jersey and the New Brunswick Public School District that gives students in the district's instrumental music program special access to the theater's classical music series. The program provides each student and a family member with tickets to a classical music performance at the theater, which includes meeting with the conductor and soloist after the show.
Students attending the performances also received a study guide and CD featuring the music played.
