HochStories

At a recent HYSO rehearsal, we took photos of all the students by school. This season, there are students from 29 different schools, plus homeschooled students, coming together every Saturday morning for an accelerated musical experience.

Students compete annually for a seat in the orchestra, performing professional repertoire in at least three concerts throughout the school year. The HYSO’s first concert of the year is coming up on Sunday, November 12 at 2:00 pm in Hochstein Performance Hall. (More info here)

Since 2000, the HYSO has performed in cities in Spain, Portugal, Austria, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, and Ireland. The orchestra will tour Italy in Spring 2024.
