proud to support music education at all levels, and our policy has always been
that Youth Orchestra musicians must participate in their school's band
and/or orchestra program, if class instruction is offered for their instrument.
The
Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestras
believes that money should never
hinder a student from participating in our ensembles; therefore, we are proud
to offer tuition scholarships in the form of financial aid. Additional
information will be available in the registration packet.
