Wichita Falls Youth Symphony Orchestra

Providing Texoma’s most talented young musicians exceptional performance opportunities since 1992

The Wichita Falls Youth Symphony Orchestra (YSO) founder, Gail Key, believed strongly in providing a quality learning experience that would foster a lifelong appreciation of classical music and the arts. The YSO has grown from one community orchestra to two orchestras, a high-level ensemble, and the Gail Key Academy of Music.  A strong collaboration with the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra provides talented coaches, apprentice opportunities, and side-by-side concerts.
