Stringendo Youth Ensemble & Youth Artist Competition
The PSO is committed to supporting and fostering the musical talents of our children and young adults. Stringendo Youth Ensemble is a tuition-free program offered to all students in the Greater Seacoast community. Students ages 8-18 meet weekly to take lessons, rehearse, and support each other. Two public performances a year showcase the young talent.
The PSO’s highly competitive Young Artist Competition (now in its eighth year) gives outstanding young high-school instrumentalists the chance to perform with the orchestra during our end-of-year concert and to win a cash prize.
