Activities
School budget cutbacks usually hit arts programs the hardest. Good thing this city provides a wealth of kid-friendly arts education outside of the classroom. One of our favorite organizations is The Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra, whose live concerts introduce local kids to a variety of instruments and foster an appreciation of classical music.

The primary purpose of the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra is education. All programs reflect a commitment to providing young musicians with the opportunity to strengthen their musical talents and develop an appreciation of the arts through classical music. Members develop discipline, teamwork and leadership skills through rehearsal and performance with peers who are serious about music. Many members go on to become professional musicians, music teachers, doctors, engineers, and other types of professionals. All leave FSYO with a love and appreciation of music that will enrich the rest of their adult lives.
