Welcome to the Youth Symphony Orchestra!
Youth Symphony Orchestra (YSO) is a full symphony orchestra comprised of nearly 90 members and is the premier youth orchestra in the region. Members perform several times throughout the year in a variety of rewarding performance settings, including the Side-by-Side Concert with the Quad City Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Mark Russell Smith, where they perform advanced orchestral repertoire. YSO generally rehearses on Sundays from 5:45 – 8:15 PM.
