Join Lane County's premiere youth orchestras!
Arts Umbrella still has openings in the Eugene Youth Symphony, Junior Orchestra, and Little Symphony for the 2011-2012 season, AU's 78th season!
Fall auditions take place Tuesday, September 20 from 4 to 9pm at South Eugene High School. Audition times are limited, so musicians should make an appointment in advance by calling Arts Umbrella at 541-484-0473. Audition requirements may be found by visiting www.artsumbrellausa.org. All area strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion players up to age 21 are encouraged to audition. Arts Umbrella never turns a child away from the orchestras because of an inability to pay and offers scholarships to all eligible youth. There is no audition fee.
The Eugene Youth Symphony, Junior Orchestra, and Little Symphony are the premier youth orchestras of Lane County and contain some of the finest young musicians in our area. Students in the Arts Umbrella orchestras receive training from the area’s highest-quality conductors and coaches, perform in several concerts throughout the year, and participate in outreach events designed to inspire young children in our community. Exceptional to this season, students in the 2011-2012 orchestras get an opportunity to work with famed violinist, Midori Goto, during her April 2012 Eugene residency.
