The Alabama Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO) celebrated its inaugural season in 2010-2011, under the direction of Fawzi Haimor, as an ensemble dedicated to giving young musicians in the state of Alabama the opportunity to learn and grow through the rehearsal and performance of great orchestral music in a highly professional setting. Members of the ASYO rehearse weekly at Birmingham-Southern College, work regularly with the Musicians and Conductors of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, and perform concerts spanning from standard orchestral repertoire to pops and chamber music. The ASYO is open to students ages 12-22 who play an orchestral instrument, and currently consists of 70 young musicians from 25 Alabama cities and 24 schools.
The ASYO was profiled in the Birmingham News on November 28, 2010. Read the article by Michael Huebner by clicking here.
