The Amarillo Symphony Youth Orchestra is an Education program of the Amarillo Symphony and serves as a performance-based program for young instrumentalists from around the Texas Panhandle. ASYO focuses on the continued training and development of young musicians.
The four ensembles – Preparatory Strings, Sinfonia, Philharmonic, and Youth Symphony – offer a unique musical experience to young musicians ages 8 to 19 of different skill levels. Musicians in each ensemble participate in coaching sessions with members of the Amarillo Symphony, as well as other area educators, and perform two concerts each season at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts.
