“The ACO is proud to support, in every way possible, the Treasure Coast Youth Symphony,” states Larry Kopp, ACO Executive Director. “These talented youngsters bring incredible energy and dedication to their performances which make these concerts truly remarkable. I would recommend all of our patrons attend these performances if possible- they are like a breath of fresh air- they truly are special.”
The engaging performances and individual virtuosity of the young musicians of the Treasure Coast Youth Symphony continue to generate greater and greater excitement and attendance enabling the orchestra to provide music scholarships to some of its outstanding young musicians. From performance revenues, a grant from Women Supporting the Arts and the Arts Foundation of Martin County, and the generosity of a number of private donors, the orchestra awarded nearly $10,000 in scholarships at the end of last season. Scholarships are used by orchestra members to continue music education during summer music programs, to enter a college level musical curriculum in the fall, to obtain private lessons from professionals, or to assist in the purchase of quality musical instruments.
The Treasure Coast Youth Symphony is an all volunteer, non-profit organization and is composed of the most talented student musicians from Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and northern Palm Beach counties. The conductors of the Treasure Coast Youth Symphony are Dr. John Enyart (founder), Mr. Ben Enyart and Mr. Thomas Servinsky.
