Our History
As previous students of the Philadelphia public school system, best friends Chloe and Claire understand the importance of music education and the benefits that come along with exposing young people to quality music education. Chloe and Claire both started playing their instruments when they were in middle school, met as freshmen in high school, and together created an organization that aims to educate the next generation.
Wanting to do good in their communities and create similar opportunities for young students, Chloe and Claire created Generation Music in 2018 with an emphasis of exposing, encouraging, and diversifying music starting with their hometown. All programs offered to students are 100% free for them to attend. Generation Music prides itself being completely youth driven from its founders to volunteers and staff!
Our Mission
Generation Music is a Philadelphia non-profit dedicated to providing free music education classes and workshops to underrepresented students to help build music literacy in the city of Philadelphia
We envision our Teaching Artists serving as ambassadors and mentors for their communities to cultivate the next generation of creatives and advocates for diversity in classical music. The aim is for underrepresented individuals - as well as allies and supporters - to join the journey towards a powerful, more diverse industry
