Young Artist Orchestra 2010-2011 Season!

The Young Artist Orchestra, the most advanced ensemble of the five Greenville County Youth Orchestras, is comprised of the most skilled, talented, and experienced student musicians in the Upstate. It is also the Orchestra-In-Residence at the Fine Arts Center. Though most members are high school aged, the YAO will also admit exceptional middle school musicians. Each year the orchestra performs three Young Artist Concerts at the Peace Center’s Dorothy Gunter Theatre as well as a winter and spring concert with other ensembles in the school district's After School Orchestra Program. The Young Artist Orchestra is directed by Fine Arts Center music faculty member Dr. Gary August Robinson.
