"Sound of Possibility." The Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic brings access to professional musicians to school kids in the Palm Springs and Desert Sands Unified School Districts thanks to Alyssa Burno, Education and Events Coordinator and the dedication and support of the Board of Directors. During the 2026 season the Minería Symphony Orchestra of Mexico, Academy of St James in the Field and Chicago Symphony Orchestra all performed master classes for music students in Cathedral City, Indio and Desert Hot Springs.
