Texas Youth
Orchestra
Summer European Study 2006
Texas Youth
Orchestra
• A string orchestra of high school and
college-aged students interested in
performing with other like-minded
students, learning more about their art
form, and exploring Europe and European
culture.
• Touring major cities in Italy and Austria
• July 8th through July 21st, 2006
Our Vision
Music is the universal language. It
crosses international borders, unifies
cultures, uplifts the spirit, and conveys
so much, with so little. The discovery
of new countries, new cultures, new
languages, and new friends broadens
our knowledge and furthers our
understanding of our world.
The 'Texas Youth
Orchestra' endeavors to provide
a quality education from top string
educators from across our state. We
enable Texas students to reach
across international borders to further
their own study of music and learn
about the cultures of Europe.
Our 2006 tour features the two
amazing countries of Italy and Austria.
We hope that by studying the former
music centers of Europe that we can
gain insight into our own art form and
allow our minds and souls to
stretch beyond our imagination.
Your ability to convey music across
cultures makes our global voyage
within your reach.
