I ran into this YouTube video on the youth orchestra sponsored by the SF Symphony. It's an amazing intro to what the SF Symphony is doing for our talented youths.
I hope we can grow this subject with many threads devoted to classical music.
My wife and I attended over 13-seasons of music to enjoy the SF Symphony play with the best in the world. We quit going, because I didn't want to continue with the drive into San Francisco every Friday. We enjoyed some music at the local community college when the San Francisco Symphony came down to us, but sadly they discontinued the series last year.
Enjoy; you'll be impressed with the young musicians.
