We're gearing up for our 56th concert season!
Benson
A message from Maestro Benson:

We are in the middle of planning and auditioning for the new season.  Rehearsals begin in just a little over a month.  Please make sure that you have registered.  If you have not been able to set an audition date and time, we will find a time to hear you. 
Youth Orchestra Musicians:
You will be playing the 4th Movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 and Dvorak's Carnival Overture.  Parts for these pieces are available at www.imslp.org.   (select the composer, the piece, parts, then your instrument) 
Looking forward to seeing you all. 

Mr. Benson
