The Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta is a community-based youth orchestra providing young students with unique opportunities to continue their music education in a full orchestral setting. MYSO instills in its members self-discipline, social skills, leadership skills and a strong work ethic.

The Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta (MYSO) begins its twenty-second successful year of providing orchestral education and performance of great orchestral literature to talented string, wind, brass and percussion students from the metropolitan Atlanta area.

The primary goal of MYSO of Atlanta is to further the music education and experiences of its members. Repertoire is specifically chosen by our conductors to challenge and broaden the scope of performance experiences for our musicians.
MYSO of Atlanta is committed to developing the educational opportunities of Atlanta's talented musicians. We continue to expand the music programs available to the MYSO students by offering public performances, sectional coaching, chamber music ensemble training, scholarship awards for continuing music education, and travel opportunities.

Travel has become an exciting and integral part of our musical education program. MYSO receives invitations to perform in many exciting venues beyond the Atlanta area. These include the Youth Performance series at Carnegie Hall, where, on April 14, 2002, MYSO played to a standing ovation!

Recent trips have taken MYSO members to the Big Apple, the Midwest Band Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, IL, GMEA in Savannah, GA, the Piccolo Spoletto Festival in Charleston, SC, the Super Bowl XXXIV Halftime Show in Atlanta, and overseas to Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai China, and Vienna, Prague and Budapest.

We are traveling to Costa Rica in June 2012. Additional details are forthcoming!
