Im concerned about the lack of arts programs in area schools. What does the RSO do for young people?
The Rockford Symphony serves up to 10,000 young people per year through programs such as the Rockford Symphony Youth Orchestra (RSYO), a performance ensemble for young people, Symphony Goes to School (RSO musicians demonstrate their instruments for 3rd & 4th grade classes), The RSO Woodwind and Brass Quintets, and Youth Concerts (hour-long concerts specially designed for 5th & 6th grade audiences).
