HSO KIDS is open to ALL students with at least one year of instrumental music instruction. Students learn music appropriate for their grade level with their school and/or private lesson music teacher. HSO Kids then attend a special rehearsal clinic with master teachers before working alongside the HSO to put the finishing touches on their music. Later in the evening, the HSO Kids perform with the HSO during their spring concert performance!
