LASYO, a summer orchestra established by the Symphony Association, is open to musicians ages 11 (or in 6th grade) through 21 who play violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, harp, timpani, or percussion.
A full house enjoyed the public concert on Saturday July 29, 2023, which began at 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Livermore.
In June 2023, Beth Wilson was at Rincon Library in Livermore as LAS Youth Outreach chair for an “instrument petting zoo,” a hands-on workshop where children could see, listen, touch, and play some of the instruments of the orchestra. She demonstrated how different instruments created sounds. Then the kids tried playing some of the instruments, after which they made some of their own under the direction of library staff.
