90th Shellebration: Birthday Picnic ft. Memphis Youth Symphony

From September 10th-13th, The Overton Park Shell 90th Birthday Weekend will present back-to-back days featuring unique collaborations as Memphis comes together to pay tribute to the legacy of our historic stage.
About Memphis Youth Symphony:
The Memphis Youth Symphony Program (MYSP) was formed by Maestro Vincent de Frank in 1966 under the umbrella of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. In March 2006, MYSP legally separated from the Memphis Symphony and reorganized as a separate and distinct nonprofit organization.
The MYSP serves as the premiere youth symphony program in the Mid-South. MYSP consists of seven large ensembles, multiple chamber ensembles, and a student advisory council. All students (public, private, rural, faith-based, and home-schooled) are invited to audition. The result is a diverse mix of students that reflects the community's culture and complexion. The program engages 300 students annually, ages 6-19, from the tri-state area.
