Evelyn Steenbock Fall Concert Series
A series of orchestral performances by young musicians showcasing a variety of classical and film music.
WYSO opens its 2026–27 season with the Steenbock Fall Concerts, a single afternoon and evening featuring all five WYSO orchestras. From Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade to selections from John Williams’ Star Wars Suite , this is a season-opening celebration of the range and ambition of WYSO’s young musicians — three performance sessions, one unforgettable day.
