The dyso Difference

Dedication... determination... diversity.  These words have been synonymous with the Dekalb Youth Symphony Orchestra since its founding in Dekalb County, Georgia in 1967.  In our 56th season this year, these words still exemplify the unique qualities that have set the oldest youth orchestra in metro Atlanta apart, and make it such a special group of student musicians and instructors.  Please know, these words are more than a slogan.  They are our mission!


DYSO is dedicated....

  • to increasing its members knowledge and understanding of music.
  • to expanding its members performance abilities.
  • to enhancing its members creativity, critical thinking skills, and problem solving.


DYSO is determined....

  • to create a safe and inclusive musical experience for all members.
  • to make a positive impact in each member's life regardless of background.
  • to open the door to future opportunities for all members.


DYSO is diverse....

  • in its musical ideas and interpretations
  • in its musical experiences and opportunities
  • and most importantly in its members!


Come experience THE DYSO DIFFERENCE!



Sincerely,

Philip Barnard, Artistic Director
