Dear Youth Symphony members,
I am excited to present the season’s repertoire to you. Our season’s theme is an exciting one and many of our compositions will represent marginalized composers.
I look forward to seeing you at our first rehearsal on September 27 (location TBA)!
Sincerely,
Dr. Metzger Howe
