We just returned from an excellent holiday performance by the San Francisco Youth Orchestra!
The kids in the orchestra were amazingly talented (age range from 11-20) and the music sounded great. The event was in a concert hall at a local college and I splurged so we had 8th row seats dead center so no action was missed by the kids. You could see and feel every detail of the music and for the most part they stared with rapt attention.
The show was an annual Peter and the Wolf concert where they played multiple holiday classics.
I really wanted the kids to have this experience and it did not disappoint!
Here is the program:
