About the Event

Founded in 1988, the Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon (YSSO) provides exceptional performance experiences and training under the leadership of professional conductors and music coaches and fosters lifelong appreciation of classical music and the arts.  The 2015-2016 season marks the organization’s 28th year of presenting symphonic masterworks, contemporary and commissioned music, and special arrangements.

Concert Series performances feature the accomplished string, brass, woodwind and percussion musicians of the Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon.  The aspiring young musicians from throughout the region present masterful performances of standard repertoire, new works and concerti, and arrangements for preparatory orchestra and strings. Youth Symphony Concerto Competition winners are featured soloists with the Youth Symphony.

Audiences will be impressed by the interpretive, technical and performance skills of the musicians, as well as their commitment to artistic excellence.

The engaging Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon performances connect hearts, hands, minds and communities through music.
