Youth orchestra celebrating 5 years

In February of 2016, the Southeast Indiana Youth Orchestra (SEIYO) launched its inaugural semester. The vision for the orchestra grew out of a desire to provide an opportunity for students in Southeast Indiana to develop their musicianship through a strings orchestral program, which otherwise did not exist in our community. With the beginning of eight students that has grown to nearly 30, it offers an affordable music education to students of all ages as well as an inexpensive instrument rental program which includes basses, cellos, violas and violins.
