Join our talented Senior and Junior youth musicians as they show off their skills in a series of informal, family-friendly concerts.

After an extraordinary year full of challenges, the Spartanburg Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is feeling "On Top of The World" and ready to celebrate a season full of accomplishments. This family-friendly outdoor concert features the Junior and Senior ensembles, both separately and as a mighty combined orchestra. You'll also enjoy solos by our 2021/22 Concerto Competition winners - Hayden Green, violin, and Marqual Littlejohn, trumpet. We hope you can join us on the lawn at Converse College this April 25th.

Admission is free, but please register if you'd like to attend. We also hope you consider a donation to support the Spartanburg Philharmonic Youth Orchestra program and the talented students it serves.
