String Orchestra South and West Members

Welcome

Welcome to Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra’s (MYSO’s) 65th season! We are very excited that you’ll be joining us in String Orchestra; we have so much planned for you this year!

Please note that for the foreseeable future, we will be rehearsing in a controlled environment at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. This adjustment will allow us to physically distance while playing in orchestra and requires a small modification to our typical Monday evening routine.

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