Kettle Moraine
Youth String Orchestra Presented by the Terri & Verne Holoubek Family Foundation, Inc.

The Kettle Moraine Youth String Orchestra (KMYSO) is a chamber orchestra.  The goal of KMYSO is to provide an outlet for youth string players to grow to their ultimate potential by introducing a variety of music and musical styles.  The expectation is that all students push themselves in order to reach musical excellence as an ensemble.  The Orchestra's smaller ensemble size allows for a personalized teaching approach, as well as opportunities for leadership and solo work that may not be available in larger ensembles.  

KMYSO is divided into two ensembles: Presto Strings and Bravura Strings.  Presto Strings is open to youth in grades 5-8 who have a minimum of two years playing experience or are in Suzuki Book 2.  Bravura Strings is open to students with three to five years playing experience or are in Suzuki Book 5 or higher.  Placement auditions are required for both ensembles.  Please see the Auditions page for detailed requirements.  All interested students must be currently enrolled in their school orchestra or study with a private instructor.
