Orfeo Alliance Program

Named after a Greek god of music, The Orfeo Alliance is a long-term partnership between The Key School and The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra that produces an annual artist-in-residence program that benefits music education programs at Key School and artistic programs for the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Arthur and Pat Edwards, current Key grandparents and parents of alumni Richard ‘84, Jib ’82, and Jeremy ‘89, established The Patricia and Arthur Edwards Family Foundation, a charitable trust funding The Orfeo Alliance.
