Delta Youth Symphony Orchestra

The Youth Orchestra is open to all interested young musicians who would like the challenge of playing orchestral music, play in a large ensemble of other musically accomplished peers, as well as the unique opportunity to perform along side our professional musicians in the Delta Symphony Orchestra. If you have at least one year of experience playing your instrument and are 12 to 18 in age, then you are eligible to audition! The DYSO's season includes FOUR rehearsals and TWO performances for family and friends. To participate in the DYSO, students must have access to their instrument and be involved in their school's music program or be enrolled in private lessons.

Tuition: $150 per year. Waivers may be granted for those in financial need.
