PROGRAMS
For 46 years, the Youth Orchestra of Greater Fort Worth has been providing young musicians unparalleled musical instruction, unique performing opportunities, and a chance to study and experience classical music with their peers in a chamber or full orchestra setting.
Whether striving to be a professional musician or just fostering a lifelong love of music, our program can help your student realize and advance his or her vision.
Our International Tour is being planned for June 2011 to Madrid, Spain.. The Youth Orchestra will perform four concerts in world-class venues in Madrid, Toro and Toledo. This will be a trip the students will long remember. Maestro German Gutierrez is proud to be able to present this youth orchestra to our musical friends in Madrid. Details will be forthcoming.
