BSO/Arbella School Bus Program

The Arbella Insurance Foundation BSO School Bus Program was created to help schools defray transportation costs associated with field trips to the BSO Youth Concerts and may award a grant of up to $300 to schools that meet the program eligibility requirements.* With many schools facing difficult budgeting decisions, these funds were established to help expand current curricula and allow your students the ability to experience the Boston Symphony Orchestra and historic Symphony Hall.

Please note that any school attending the BSO Youth Concerts may apply for a grant, even after the performance.

Tickets to BSO Youth Concerts are $10 each, with one complimentary ticket for every 20 tickets purchased. A 10% deposit is required six weeks before the concert, with the remainder due four weeks before. Students and teachers from Boston Public Schools can attend any Youth Concert for free, subject to availability and with advance reservation. Contact Group Sales at 617-638-9345 or groupsales@bso.org.

*Any school serving grades K-12 is eligible to apply. The field trip must be to a Boston Symphony Orchestra Youth Concert. A maximum of two grants will be awarded per district, per school year on a first-come, first-served basis. Schools are only eligible to receive one grant per school year.
