“We started with a small group of 35 young musicians that came from the Dallas area and over the past 50 years, we’ve grown to nine different ensembles of over 465 young musicians,” Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra Executive Director Cathy Hernandez said.“This year we are back in person rehearsing, kids are in and out of school and you know it’s been a struggle,” she said.
Through its Music Capacity Building program, conducting staff and coaches have been working with Dallas ISD to boost their music programs. “We’re now in over 25 schools across the DISD, working on building up test scores and for school orchestras, that’s UIL test scores,” Hernandez said.
