We are excited to announce our 2020-2021 roster! We had a record-high number of applicants this year and the audition panel was exceedingly impressed with the musicianship of our auditionees. Despite high audition turnout, the EYSO roster is smaller this year by design. We are hopeful that we will return to the stage in 2021 and like most arts organizations, we must prepare to have fewer performers on stage in keeping with vital CDC and Emory health and safety distancing guidelines. Congratulations to our musicians, their families, and their wonderful school directors and private teachers! http://www.emoryyouthsymphony.org/2020-2021-roster/
