Join us for the grand YSO Finale Concert, a showcase of the Youth Symphony Orchestra's (YSO) remarkable talent and hard work throughout the season. This event is scheduled for May 12 at 3:00 pm CDT, taking place at the prestigious Bartlett Performing Arts Center, located at 3600 Avenue of the Cities, Moline, IL 61265, United States.

Under the baton of conductor Benjamin Firer, the YSO, comprising nearly 90 talented young musicians, will present an ambitious program. The concert will feature Charles T. Griffes' "Poem for Flute and Orchestra," with a special performance by Concerto Competition Grand Prize Winner Runner Up, Morgan Smith. The program will also include "Hold fast to dreams" by Dana Wilson, followed by an intermission and senior announcements. The second half of the concert will be dedicated to "The Montgomery Variations" by Margaret Bonds, a powerful suite in seven movements that promises to be an emotional and inspiring highlight of the evening.

This event is not just a concert; it's a celebration of youth, music, and community. It's an opportunity to witness the premier youth orchestra in the region perform advanced orchestral repertoire, including their collaboration in the Side-by-Side Concert with the Quad City Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Mark Russell Smith.
