Orange County Youth Symphony Update

A few months ago, our Philharmonic Society's Orange County Youth Symphony musicians had their first rehearsal of the 2020-21 season at Irvine Barclay Theatre. Socially-distanced rehearsals were held in rotational groups of 10 or less musicians following CDC guidelines as well as online through Zoom.
