Richardson Symphony Inc

The Young Artist Competition draws young string players and pianists from across the nation and beyond. Eligible young artists compete with the first place winner being awarded a cash prize as well as the opportunity to present their chosen concerto or other work with the Richardson Symphony Orchestra during one of our spring concerts.

In line with its mission of developing your artist and promoting music education in general the RSO is actively involved in elementary educational programs through our Symphony Days classroom visits and special childrens concerts. Each elementary school in Richardson Independent School District is offered the opportunity to participate in a program which involves an on-site classroom visit by our musicians to demonstrate their instrument and prepare the children to appreciate and enjoy an upcoming concert performed specifically for them at the Eisemann Center. In many cases the concert they attend as part of the Symphony Days program is the first classical concert these children have attended. The program focus is third graders. In the past we have also made the program available to many private schools and home school groups.
