MYSO to Present Progressions Spring Concert, 5/29

Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra's Progressions Program, a high-impact, intensive string training program for early elementary students from City of Milwaukee schools, presents its annual Spring Concert on Wednesday, May 29, at 5:30 p.m., at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, 325 W. Walnut St., Milwaukee.

Launched in 2003, the Progressions Program was founded with the goal of increasing the participation of underrepresented populations in both the MYSO ensembles and music programs across Milwaukee. Nine years later, the program has grown to 70 students and provides group lessons, orchestra training and intensive private lessons for violin, viola, cello and bass. The participants in the program are school-nominated third and fourth grade students.

The Progressions Spring Concert will feature solos, duets, small ensembles and orchestral performances by MYSO Progressions students.

Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra gratefully acknowledges the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation and the League of American Orchestras for their generous support of this program.
