We have just completed our inaugural year of the Missouri Youth Orchestra under the sponsorship of MU School of Music. We are pleased to have Carrie Turner as the conductor of MYO. Carrie’s broad experience as a performer, teacher and clinician brings a fun, energetic, and challenging aspect to the musicians in the ensemble. The MYO provides a challenging and entertaining range of musical opportunities for its members. We look forward to having you join us for the 2008-2009 year!

Join conductor Carrie Turner for MYO’s second season!!!
