We would like you to know about a group of young musicians in the Chattanooga area. They are talented, focused, dedicated, energetic and hardworking. As can be said of all young people, they are our future. In this case our musical future! Together they are known as the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera Youth Orchestras (CSOYO). They currently consist of over 220 musicians.

The links below take you to pages with photographs of a particular group and performance. Once the picture is accessed, if you left click the picture, a zoom button will appear in the bottom right of the picture that will allow you to zoom in. (You may have to be patient.) You may right click the picture and save it to your computer for printing, including in a digital picture frame, sending to relatives, etc. Each of the main pictures is between 800K and 1200K. The preview pictures are just less than 100K.

All pictures were taken with existing light. Almost all will print well up to 8X10. Just click the windows back button to return to the main performance page once you have viewed a picture.

If you missed the performances, you missed some excellent music. Excerpts of the Youth Symphony Tivoli performance are included at the bottom of the 2008 Tivoli Theater Youth Symphony page. The excerpts do not begin to do justice to the actual performance. It was excellent!
