The Oak Ridge Youth Symphony Orchestra (ORYSO) is a new musical institution that serves the Oak Ridge area community. Last year it served young musicians from 12 different schools and 6 counties. We are now proud to be in our second season and our first fall season. We will be presenting three concerts this year in the autumn, winter and spring. This year, we will also be adding a junior symphony to serve intermediate level young musicians in the area. ORYSO operates under the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association .
