Musical Visions Chamber Series
  Thursday, May 24, 7:00pm at the Greater Reston Arts Center

AYPO and the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE) created the Musical Visions Chamber Series in order to give young chamber musicians of AYPO the opportunity to perform in the community. Every month since November of 2006 there have been chamber ensembles performing at the GRACE art exhibits.

May 24th is your last chance of the season to see an AYPO chamber ensemble performance, so be sure to grace us with your presence!

If you've missed out on the series this season, don't worry! AYPO chamber ensembles return to GRACE in the fall for all new performances!

A Symphony Spectacular!
  The American Youth Philharmonic and Symphonic Orchestras perform this season's finale

Sunday, June 3, 3:00pm at George Mason University Center for the Arts

Our closing performance of the season is one with both drama and flair - scale the depths of Wagner's mythological world, experience the raw realism and frenzied fervor of love unrequited, and soar into a fairyland filled with magical mystique. The season spectacular will be an unforgettable finale to our year!

Program: selections from Sleeping Beauty Suite by Tchaikovsky, selections from Carmern by Bizet, and famous works by Wagner.

This program is sponsored in part by Dominion
