2011-2012 Season
For our Spring concert the Youth Symphony and Concert Orchestra played the world premiere of Scott McKenzie's "Frontiers." This piece was commissioned by the
Fairbanks youth Orchestras. In the words of the composer:
The Fairbanks Youth Orchestras was started by Gordon Wright and Inga-Lisa Wright in 1970 with
18 string players. This year we have more than 120 young musicians involved in the orchestras. Read more about the early FYO on our history

Symphony Association. Three
youth ensembles make up the Fairbanks Youth Orchestras: String Orchestra,
Concert Orchestra & Youth Symphony. Rehearsals and final orchestra concerts are on the University of
Alaska Fairbanks
campus, in the Fine Arts Complex.
