Sinfonia Members

Welcome!

Welcome to Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra’s (MYSO’s) 65^th season! I’m very excited about your participation in Sinfonia this year!

We’re planning to return this fall by forming three smaller orchestras from within Sinfonia. This adjustment allows us to physically distance while playing in orchestra and requires a modification to our typical Thursday routine. Please note that we have modified the typical schedule to accommodate Sinfonia over as many as three days (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) rehearsing in a controlled environment at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center.

To get started, begin preparing for your seating audition by clicking on your instrument under “seating audition requirements & excerpts” below.

Mr. Rindt, Music Director
