The KZN Philharmonic's dynamic approach to its responsibilities in Education and Development (E&D) has resulted in the growth of vibrant community-centred programmes.

These endeavours encompass arts exposure, skills training and performance opportunities  that contribute to the ongoing sustainability and growth of this art form in South Africa. It also ensures that thousands of school children are reached annually through school concerts in addition to the numerous community concerts and rural residency programmes.

The orchesta is also committed to harnessing South African  talent and providing a career path for young musicians through programmes such as the National Cadetship Programmer. Talented young musicians, aspiring to a professional level of performance, work with the orchestra as cadets.

On a one-to-one basis, as well as in groups, young talent is fostered through training by the KZN Philharmonic and its members, who teach at schools, tertiary institutions or privately. Tuition is also given to students of community-based arts projects, with which the Orchestra has formed links.
