Youth Orchestra & Strings: Spring Concert

Join us for a powerful celebration of youth, talent, and music at the combined Mansfield Symphony Youth Orchestra and Youth Strings Spring Concert—the culminating performance of the season. Under the direction of Stephen Domka and Alora Eyerly, this inspiring event brings together more than 100 young musicians from across North Central Ohio in a moving display of artistry and dedication.

The Youth Strings, comprised of students in grades 6–10, will showcase the growth and collaboration that define their year-long journey through ensemble performance. Since 1992, this program has provided foundational musical education in a supportive and enriching environment.

The Youth Orchestra, made up of high school students from a 12-county region, will present an exciting program that includes the winners of this year’s concerto competition. As the only youth orchestra within a 65-mile radius, it provides invaluable performance opportunities to students—many from schools without a full orchestra program.

Don’t miss this uplifting and unforgettable evening at the Renaissance Theatre, where the next generation of musicians takes center stage!
