Santa Cecilia
Arts & Learning Center
We are thrilled and proud to invite you to The Santa Cecilia Arts and Learning Center.
For more than two decades, Santa Cecilia Orchestra has been providing exceptional performances and education programs, both affordable and accessible to communities throughout Los Angeles. We’ve touched the lives of more than 190,000 children and welcomed thousands of families to our concerts. Now, we have a chance to take our work to a new, unprecedented level in the months and years to come.
A place where we can expand our current programs and build new ones. A place where we can strengthen our connections and commitment to the many communities we serve.
The Santa Cecilia Arts and Learning Center is the Orchestra’s home.
Look below as we have begun programs to serve every age from toddlers to seniors.
Stay tuned for the announcement of even more opportunities.
Rhythmus
Experience making music together in our weekly drum circle for ages 18 and above. Encounter the spirit and magic of rhythm expressed on drums and percussion instruments. Discover new ways to communicate, release energy, and enjoy learning and playing rhythms from other cultures taught by guest artists.
Join this creative venture and explore fun ways to communicate and connect with others. Reduce stress, promote wellness, relax the body, awaken your inner artist! You don’t have to be a drummer to participate nor own a drum. We will provide the drums. Sessions will be facilitated by SCO Principal percussionists and guest artists.

Our participants will receive coaching, share musical ideas, rehearse together and play in a performance for the community.
