Mission

The mission of the orchestra is to give young people aged 8 to 25 the opportunity to develop their musical talent by playing in a symphonic orchestra under the direction of a professional conductor, and to share this music with their community.

Young musicians are introduced to the discipline required by ensemble work and learn to further their knowledge of the many styles found in the orchestral repertoire, including baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary.

This experience will serve them throughout their lives, whether they become professional musicians, educators, enthusiastic amateurs or simply insightful listeners.
