●STUDENTS IN CONCERT

STUDENTS IN CONCERT is a YOBC pilot musical outreach program in the Bristol Township School District.

Participants in music education programs reap the proven academic and social benefits associated with the serious study of classical music – among them confidence, a sense of community, commitment, and teamwork.

Working with Keith Krelove, Music Instructor at Truman High School, the Students In Concert project provides – at no cost to the school district – musical instruments, music scores, instructional specialists, and other support as needed to engage students.  Many students are precluded from participating in the school music program due to financial need.  Mr. Krelove and his colleagues in the school music department have identified an existing instrumental ensemble to serve as a cornerstone.

From October 2025 through May 2026, YOBC will once again financially and musically support that ensemble to allow and encourage a greater number of students to participate, and to strengthen the educational experience for all students in the ensemble.  Mr. Krelove is “proud and deeply honored that YOBC has chosen Bristol to pilot this initiative in the Bucks County area.  The BTSD Music staff, with the support Dr. Samuel Lee, superintendent, are excited and fully committed to building this program into one that will spawn a new era of opportunity for our students and our community.  We at Bristol Township thank YOBC for this great opportunity.”
