Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra
The Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra (GSYO) enriches the lives of its participants by providing a professional environment for the study, preparation, and performance of music, serving the community as a whole by providing high quality, free of charge performances, and encouraging and advocating art, music, and music education in the Piedmont Triad region. The GSYO is an educational project directed and underwritten by the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra. GSYO Music Director Nathaniel Beversluis leads the program into its 41st year during the 2011-2012 season.
The GSYO program includes multiple ensembles, with opportunities for everyone from young beginners to advanced high school students. In the past five years, the most advanced ensemble has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and in Germany and Austria! GSYO members study and perform the best in orchestral music as they grow as musicians and make lasting friendships.
GSYO concerts are free and open to the public!
