Thank you for another successful year of MYO!

(MYO members at the Highland Country Club for the Making Music, Changing Lives Fundraiser)

The Metropolitan Youth Orchestra has had quite a busy and successful year with over 10 chamber performances, hundreds of lessons, 3 full MYO concerts, a dozens of recitals. 

This past weekend we hosted a potluck and final concert of the season at the Broadway United Methodist Church. BUMC has been a great partner throughout the year to MYO as we have hosted many concerts and special events there. Thanks to Lorain Laswell for the below pictures that she took that afternoon.
