Heart to Heart Orchestra is a Korean youth symphony orchestra for musicians with developmental disabilities. Initially founded in 2006 to provide music education opportunities to young people with developmental disabilities and to increase access to music, the orchestra has been successfully performing for 13 years to improve social understanding for people with disabilities. Seeking excellence in music, the orchestra has performed at prestigious venues such as the Seoul Arts Center and undertaken international concert tours to the United States (Carnegie Hall, NYC), Canada and China. With a commitment to enhance social inclusion for all people with disabilities, the orchestra communicates and connects with audiences from all walks of life. In September 2020 Heart to Heart travels to the UK for three days of music making side by side with the professional musicians of OSJ.
