Young People's Symphony Orchestra (YPSO) continues its 81st season with the Winter Concert that will feature concerto competition winners Tevy Emoedi, cello, and Alvin Zhang, clarinet, Music Director David Ramadanoff and the music of Adams, Shostakovich, Weber, and Stravinsky.
Each season, YPSO offers its members the opportunity to enter the Concerto Competition to compete for the chance to play the movement of a concerto with the orchestra on a regular concert program. The two concerto winners who will be featured on the program will be cellist Tevy Emoedi in Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 and Alvin Zhang in Weber's Concertino for Clarinet.
Celebrating his 29th season as Music Director/Conductor, David Ramadanoff conducts 85 young musicians who range in age from 11 to 19, and hail from 32 Bay Area cities in eight counties.
Founded in Berkeley in 1936, YPSO is the oldest youth orchestra in California and the second oldest in the nation. The 2017-18 season is the 81st season since violinist and conductor Jessica Marcelli founded YSPO at the suggestion of Clarabelle Bell, an amateur harpist and Berkeley resident, who got the idea after hearing a youth orchestra on a trip to Portland, Oregon.
