Topeka Symphony Free School Day Concerts Topeka Symphony Free School Day Concerts   The Topeka Symphony has been presenting free school day concerts to students from Northeast Kansas since 1999. John Strickler, Music Director and Conductor, initiated this extremely popular series of concerts which have played to capacity student and teacher audiences at the Topeka Performing Arts Center. These concerts are supported by grants and contributions from local businesses and individuals. Over the years, nearly 50,000 students from schools throughout Northeast Kansas have been able to attend these concerts at no cost. A resource packet and demonstration CD are made available for teachers to prepare students for this fun and educational experience. For many of these students, this is their first opportunity to experience a live symphony performance and their first visit to the Capital city.
