Welcome to the Ypsilanti Symphony Orchestra
We are a true community orchestra located in Ypsilanti, MI performing five concerts each year.
Spring Concert
Sunday, April 16th at 3:30 p.m.
The YSO will be joined by world-class guest artist, former Detroit Symphony Orchestra principal violist Alexander Mishnaevski, for our Spring Concert.
Sure to excite music lovers of all ages, the concert will showcase orchestral selections by Finnish master Jean Sibelius, including his famous nationalistic masterpiece Finlandia and the beautiful and rousing Symphony No. 2. The program will also spotlight the YSO brass section in Russian composer Victor Ewald’s Symphony No. 1 for Brass Quintet (1890). The highpoint of the program will be Mishnaevski’s virtuosic performances of Georg Phillip Telemann’s Viola Concerto and the beautiful Romance for Viola by Dmitri Shostakovich arr. Sebastian Bachmeier —a fantastic opportunity for audiences to hear this internationally acclaimed artist in concert.
Location: Lincoln High School Performing Arts Center
