Proud Supporter
Wichita Falls Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Wichita Falls Youth Symphony Orchestra is two performing groups of students selected through auditions (the WF Symphonic and the WF Philharmonic Orchestra which is a strings-only developmental ensemble). Under the direction of Dr. Susan Harvey (YSO) and Gina Menden (Philharmonic), they present two concerts each year, plus performances at other venues. The group is now also strolling part of the time they perform. Each year some YSO students selected through audition practice with the WFSO and appear on stage during two concerts
Proud Sponsor
Instrument Petting Zoo
Each year the Symphony League sponsors an Instrument Petting Zoo as a means to expose third grade students to orchestral instruments and give them an opporutnity to “bow, blow and bang” on them. Specific third grade classes in the Wichita Falls ISD will have this presented in the spring semester.
