International Tour
The Ultimate Symphony Experience
Concert tours are the ultimate symphony experience and are an essential part of the Senior Symphony program.
Every two years the Symphony Orchestra performs a tour, inspiring international audiences and providing an opportunity for the musicians to learn about other cultures, art and history, and to understand the role their music plays as a universal communication.
The international tour is the culmination and expression of the highest achievement of the orchestra; it is simply irreplaceable as an experience that matures and defines the character and unity of the Symphony.
2022 Tour Blogs
[Tour] was hands down the best experience of my time at GSYO. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to go with my friends to Europe! Exploring the cities was so fun, and playing at each concert gave me the confirmation that I want to do this for the rest of my life. Seeing so many strangers show up to a youth orchestra from another country's concert all dressed up was amazing, and sharing that experience with friends made it even more special. The things that I learned and places I went impacted me greatly and I will always look back on it as a great milestone in my life.
