Founded in 1974 by Lajos Balogh with just a handful of students, it is now one of the largest youth orchestra groups in the country. It has about 500 students, twelve conductors and fourteen ensembles with multiple experience levels.[1][2] The symphony accepts young musicians of school ages kindergarten through early college and all levels of experience.
