The Shasta Youth Orchestra is now entering its ninth
season under the direction of Dr. Richard Fiske. The Orchestra is a course
offering of Shasta College, and affiliated with the Shasta Symphony
Orchestra. Because of this affiliation, the Shasta Youth Orchestra is a
college course for .5 units; as such, students not only gain the opportunity
to perform in a quality orchestral setting, they also may earn college
credit prior to graduating from high school.
We are always looking for new members; so, if you play
a musical instrument well (especially a string instrument), read music, and
live within driving distance of Redding, California, we'd love to hear from
you. Contact Dr. Fiske at
rfiske@shastacollege.edu
