Texas Youth Orchestra

• A string orchestra of high school and
  college-aged students interested in performing
  with other like-minded students, learning more
  about their art form, and exploring Europe and
  European culture.
• Touring major cities in Italy and Austria
• July 8th through July 21st, 2006

Our Vision

• Music is the universal language. It crosses
  international borders, unifies cultures, uplifts
  the spirit, and conveys so much, with so little.
  The discovery of new countries, new cultures,
  new languages, and new friends broadens our
  knowledge and furthers our understanding of our
  world.

4

• The 'Texas Youth Orchestra' endeavors to provide
  a quality education from top string educators
  from across our state. We enable Texas students
  to reach across international borders to further
  their own study of music and learn about the
  cultures of Europe.

5
Our 2006 tour features the two amazing countries
of Italy and Austria. We hope that by studying
the former music centers of Europe that we
can gain insight into our own art form and allow
our minds and souls to stretch beyond our
imagination. Your ability to convey music across
cultures makes our global voyage within your
reach.
