Over 50 young area musicians auditioned in early January for the newly formed ORYSO. Several Music Arts students have joined the new orchestra including: Elizabeth Wilson, and Elijah Fetzer, violin students of Ilia Steinschneider; Willam Mason, cello student of Jeanine Wilkinson; and Catherine Backus, trumpet student of Warren Clark.
The conductor, Rachel Grubb, is currently working towards the prestigious College Scholars degree in Conducting and Violin Performance at the University of Tennessee.
To learn more about the orchestra, its rehearsal and concert schedule, contact Rachel Grubb at rgrubb1@utk.edu or the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association, which is sponsoring the group.
