Message from the Music Director

The 2011-2012 season is upon us and I have to say that I am extremely excited. At 127 strong, we are going to have one of the largest, and without a doubt, one of the most talented Philharmonics in the organization's history. The repertoire I have chosen will bring big challenges. The Sibelius First Symphony, Mark Adamo's Four Angels, and Stravinsky's Petrushka are not your usual youth orchestra repertoire, but I can guarantee that these wonderful works and the rest of our season's programs will bring to you all unprecedented musical rewards. This is going to be a truly great experience.

Best wishes always,

Daniel Spalding
Music Director
American Youth Philharmonic Orchestras

 

Message from the Executive Director

Concert Season Greetings!

Our entire organization has a great season planned for you, from our String Ensemble right up through the Philharmonic. Until you take advantage of attending concerts presented by all of our orchestras, it is hard to understand the value of the entire program for our musicians. Please accept my special invitation to you this year to fully experience the excellence of AYPO. You will be glad that you did, and impressed with the unmistakable quality of the orchestras.

I look forward to seeing you at all of our concerts this season… and thank you in advance for your support of the American Youth Philharmonic Orchestras.


Jack Walton
Executive Director
