In-school educational chamber music programs. SATORI offers a wide range of in-school educational programs, including assemblies, classroom presentations, student master classes, and residencies. Programs offered may include an exploration of the Hispanic heritage and guitar in classical music; concerts featuring international music and composers, American music and composers; rhythms and dances; and basic musical theory and structure; as well as full student concerts featuring themed and curriculum-based selections from the chamber music repertoire.
SATORI’s Artist-in-Residence program offers students the opportunity to learn and appreciate chamber music, taught and performed in their schools by professional musicians. Residencies may extend through an entire semester; mini-residencies, from 3-8 weeks in length, or even during a single week, are also available.

The Gift of Music project. SATORI's Gift of Music project collects, restores, and distributes band and orchestra instruments to local music instructional programs, and thence to students who may be unable to afford the cost of buying or renting an instrument. In the Gift of Music program, donated instruments are collected at various businesses, concert venues, and community organizations. Local instrument repair shops recondition these instruments, which are then distributed at no cost to area schools and organizations. Since 2003, SATORI's Gift of Music program has collected, repaired, and donated over 760 musical instruments, an estimated instrument value of over $198,000, to 56 different area schools and community music programs.
