The Las Colinas Symphony presents

The Lone Star Youth Orchestra

The Lone Star Youth Orchestra (LSYO) provides young, advanced level instrumentalists in the Metroplex area the opportunity to supplement and enhance their music education through opportunities to learn symphonic literature and high quality orchestral and ensemble training. Membership, by audition, in the Lone Star Youth Orchestra is open to middle school and high school string, woodwind, brass, and percussion players.

Founded in 1999, the Lone Star Youth Orchestra is currently under the direction of Eliezer Dobrin. Rehearsals take place weekly, on Wednesday, at the Irving Arts Center from 6:30-9:00 p.m., including a snack break! The LSYO presents multiple concerts per year to the public at Carpenter Hall in the Irving Arts Center.
