What We Do

MYSO Atlanta's commitment to creating impactful musical experiences for Atlanta's young musicians begins with weekly rehearsals of challenging full orchestral music under the direction of experienced conductors and educators. Each MYSO ensemble plays at least three fully programmed concerts each season.

We also offer a Chamber Music Program that rehearses on the same day as our regular orchestra rehearsals.

Performing Ensembles

Symphony Orchestra

Dedicated Elite Musicians

Nurturing the development of collegiate level musicianship, the MYSO Symphony, requires the highest level of skill and maturity of any MYSO ensemble. Symphony players can expect to perform repertoire such as Dvorak #7, Tchaikovsky #6, Beethoven #5, Overture to Slavonic Dances, and more. Participation is selected based on auditions held prior to the start of each season. This ensemble typically attracts high school aged performers.
