Evelyn Steenbock Fall Concert Series
November 15 @ 12:30 pm - 7:30 pm
WYSO opens its 2026–27 season with the Steenbock Fall Concerts, a single afternoon and evening featuring all five WYSO orchestras. From Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade to selections from John Williams’ Star Wars Suite, this is a season-opening celebration of the range and ambition of WYSO’s young musicians — three performance sessions, one unforgettable day.
Tickets & RSVP: Pricing and RSVP details are being finalized and will be posted here soon.
The Steenbock Fall Concerts are presented in three separate sessions throughout the day, each featuring different WYSO orchestras and its own program. Please note the time for the session you plan to attend — you do not need to arrive for all three.
