Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra

Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.

Finale!

07-17-08
Today was the first day that we had to spend entirely in the rain. We have had such great weather on this trip that everyone took it in stride.
We drove to Berchesgarden, Germany to take a boat ride on Lake Konigsee.

In spite of the rain, we enjoyed the beautiful views we did have.

We the went into town and played at the church in Berchesgarden where the entire city turned out to here us.

Father Peter introduced and welcomed us to his church.


After the concert, the city through us a BBQ complete with hamburgers and hot dogs.





There was even entertainment for us.

After our last concert together it was time to go back to the hotel and begin to pack for our long journey home.


Tomorrow we leave our hotel at 5AM and begin our long journey back home.

For flight information please check airberlin.comDr. Arnwine e-mailed everyone a week ago about our flight info.

Also: Although we anticipate being back at LAX around 3:30PM, we will not be at Oak Avenue in Temple City until 5:30PM due to imigration and customs.

We'll see you all soon!
