SPHERE in the Community

SPHERE’s community activities engage members directly with the community, allowing them to develop social skills, providing relief from isolation, helping them overcome discrimination, and contributing to the health and emotional well-being of program participants. Here are a few examples of member involvement in the community:

Ridgefield Symphony
Orchestra (RSO)

SPHERE and the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra have a very special partnership. SPHERE members have performed on several occasions with the RSO, bringing joy and pride to all involved. The RSO received a prestigious Getty Education and Community Investment Grant, which has furthered our special partnership by supporting visits by orchestra member, SPHERE member attendance at concerts and a joint special performance. The recent SPHERE-tacular show is an example of this special collaboration. Watch video>
