Youth Orchestra membership is comprised of advanced students,
many of whom started in the Preparatory and earned their position
in the Youth Orchestra through growth, experience and skill. Youth
Orchestra members typically have more performing opportunities
than students in the Preparatory and Discovery Orchestras and
must be committed to a strict routine of rehearsals, private lessons,
and at-home practice. Music performed is from the standard symphonic
orchestral repertoire.
Dr. Richard Loheyde
Conductor
Dr. Loheyde began his music studies as a violinist, with early
training in the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras and Tanglewood
Music Center. He has been a violinist and violist with the Evansville
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Owensboro Symphony Orchestra. He
has degrees from the University of Michigan, the University of
Connecticut, and the University of Texas at Austin.
Recent conducting positions include Director of Orchestral Activities
at the University of Evansville, Assistant conductor of the Owensboro
Symphony Orchestra, Music Director of the Owensboro Symphony Youth
Orchestra, and Director of Orchestral Activities at the University
of Nebraska at Omaha.

Auditions
Membership in the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Ensembles (SRSYE)
is achieved through competitive auditions. Audition appointments
are approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length and can be scheduled
by calling the Music Education Department. All auditions require
that scales, sight-reading and a prepared solo piece be performed
without accompaniment. The prepared solo piece should be an excerpt
from the standard repertoire, a solo work or etude, and should
demonstrate present level of accomplishment.
