Alumni Event and Fall Concert Scheduled for November 8 & 9

The TSYO story began when DeVilbiss High School student Joseph Henry gathered friends who loved music. By 1950, the group became the official Toledo Youth Orchestras under Cecile Vashaw, later led by Kenneth Holland and Michael Miller. A second ensemble, the Toledo Junior Youth Orchestra, was added in 1978 to support younger musicians. In 2011, the ensembles joined the Toledo Symphony and rebranded as the Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestras, now comprising the Philharmonic Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra, and Concert Strings.

The Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA), a performing arts collective consisting of the Toledo Symphony, Toledo Ballet, Toledo Symphony School of Music, Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestras and more, is thrilled to officially announce its upcoming relocation to the historic Masonic Temple, adjacent to the Stranahan Theater, in Toledo.
