Join the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra as they start their 2026-2027 Season with its 'New Beginnings' fall concerts, under the direction of Peter Lipari.

The concert program will feature the widely classic and familiar overture works for orchestra including Nicolai’s joyful Merry Wives of Windsor and Borodin’s heroic Prince Igor Overture. MYSO will also perform Coleridge-Taylor’s fiery and cinematic Ballade in A minor, Op. 33.

The November 8th concert will feature Guest Flutist Marcus Boyd and his special performance of Mozart’s Flute Concerto 2 in D major. This concert will also include the October repertoire.

Founded in 1959 the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra has resided in Will County since 1991. Players in MYSO come from area high schools and middle schools, as well as Lewis University and Joliet Junior College.

MYSO rehearses every Wednesday evening that school is in session from 6:15 to 8:45 at Lewis University. The orchestra currently has openings in their clarinet, bassoon, horn and string sections. For more concert and audition information, visit www.mysomusic.org.
