Texas Youth Orchestra

Summer European Study

2006

Texas Youth Orchestra• A string orchestra of high school and

college-aged students interested in performing with other like-minded students, learning more about their art form, and exploring Europe and European culture.

• Touring major cities in Italy and Austria

• July 8th through July 21st, 2006

Our VisionMusic is the universal language. It

crosses international borders, unifies cultures, uplifts the spirit, and conveys so much, with so little. The discovery of new countries, new cultures, new

languages, and new friends broadens our knowledge and furthers our

understanding of our world.

The 'Texas Youth Orchestra' endeavors to provide a quality

education from top string educators from across our state. We enable Texas students to reach across

international borders to further their own study of music and learn about

the cultures of Europe.

Our 2006 tour features the two amazing countries of Italy and Austria.We hope that by studying the former music centers of Europe that we cangain insight into our own art form and

allow our minds and souls tostretch beyond our imagination.

Your ability to convey music across cultures makes our global voyage

within your reach.
