Symphony in Color is an enrichment program of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association offering a unique blending of symphonic music and visual arts. Involving more than 30,000 Indiana school children each year, it culminates in a juried exhibition at the Hilbert Circle Theatre and Indiana State Museum.
Each year, five musical selections are chosen from the current Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concert season. One hundred finalists and 36 blue ribbon winners are selected from the thousands of pieces of art entered and one entry will receive the Renato Pacini Award and placed on display in the Hilbert Circle Theatre for an entire year. A maestro award is given to the teacher with the most finalists.
