MetYSO (Metrowest Youth Symphony Orchestra) Performs Winter Concert

The Metrowest Youth Symphony Orchestra (MetYSO) will perform its annual winter concert on Sunday, December 14, 2003, 3:00 p.m. at Massachusetts Bay Community College, 19 Flagg Street, Framingham.  Under the musical direction of Gilbert R. Trout, MetYSO will perform Fingal’s Cave Overture by Mendelssohn as well as the Nabucco Overture by Verdi.  MetYSO, currently in its fifth year, is comprised of twenty-six musicians ranging in age from 10-18.  Admission to the concert is free, and the facility is wheelchair accessible.

"Fingal’s Cave Overture is a beautiful musical piece designed to illustrate Fingal’s Cave in Scotland, while the Nabucco Overture is full of big brass sounds," said Gilbert Trout.  "This program is both exciting and challenging for our orchestra and I am very proud of what they have been able to accomplish since we began rehearsing in September."

MetYSO continues to recruit talented, young musicians.  Auditions will be held on Sunday, January 4, 2004 from 12-2 p.m.  For more information about MetYSO, visit the orchestra’s website at MetYSO.org or call 508-359-1399.  Directions to the college are available on MetYSO.org.
