Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra
Golden Jubilee Gala

Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel, Orlando.

March 24 , 2007

The Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra (FSYO), founded in 1957,
provides an extraordinary musical experience for Central Florida’s youth,
from third grade to second year college students. The FSYO is made up of
five ensembles which are the Symphonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra,
Prelude Orchestra, Percussion and Flute Choir. All programs refl ect
a commitment to provide young musicians with the
opportunity to strengthen their musical talents and develop an
appreciation of the arts through classical music.

The FSYO celebrated their Golden Jubilee (50 Years) this year,
with an evening of wonderful music on March 24th,
2007. Throughout the evening, attendees were entertained by a team of amazing,
talented youth, who presented some all time favorite movie themes
from Star Wars to Pirates of the Caribbean.

During the evening celebration, I had the opportunity to meet
many talented Asian musicians. Among those, the sons of Mrs. Pauline Lau, Hans
and Frank, both FSYO members, strongly encourage music training
as the foundations of discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills development.
The elder of the brothers, Hans Lau, started violin training at the age of six.
He is now Assistant Concertmaster at the Philharmonia Orchestra.

The FSYO has performed throughout Florida and the Southeast
with many professional soloists, and was extremely proud to be one of
six youth orchestras from across the United States, selected to participate
in the prestigious National Youth Orchestra Festival, June 23rd
to the 30th in Sarasota, Florida.
