Lynchburg Symphony Youth Orchestra

Lynchburg Symphony Youth Orchestra Students from all over Lynchburg and the surrounding areas take part in this community youth orchestra. That number has grown to over ninety students.

In September 2001, a new and exciting opportunity for young musicians from the central Virginia region began. Sixty-seven students from eighteen different high schools and home-schooled students auditioned for placement in the newly formed Lynchburg Symphony Youth Orchestra and Junior Strings Ensemble. This devoted group of young musicians typically rehearses once a week from late September throug

h April, performs two major concerts, and participates in various capacities during the school year. We are an allied organization of the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra.
