The St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra has a 42-year history of educating the region’s top young musicians. Through participation in the Youth Orchestra, musicians develop skills that go beyond the concert hall, life lessons that may help them along whatever path they may choose. St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra musicians bring honor to their school and to St. Louis, serving as a symbol of what discipline, training, and passion may do for young people. Acceptance into this orchestra is a huge accomplishment for any young musician.
For many young children, music education begins in their school music programs. It is in part because of the support of passionate music educators such as Mr. Lindhurst and Mrs. Dalbey and their continued support of music that Anna has won a position in the most prestigious nonprofessional orchestra for young musicians in the St. Louis region.
