Our Mission in the Art of Music

Arts Alliance of Central Texas (AAoCT) aims to help children in the Dripping Springs, Texas area gain knowledge, education and experience in music performance. 

To accomplish this, AAoCT formed Dripping Springs Youth Orchestra (DSYO) in the summer of 2019. DSYO held auditions early that summer for students to participate in an orchestral program beginning in September 2019.  DSYO has continued rehearsing and performing since then.

The objectives of DSYO are to:

·       Promote music education

·       Stress the importance of individual lessons to help students develop proficiency

·       Help students develop the skills necessary for successful participation in the orchestra

·       Provide students with opportunities to perform in public as a part of the orchestra

·       Offer public performances to foster the public’s knowledge and experience of orchestral music

To achieve these objectives, DSYO:

·       Holds auditions for prospective members

·       Encourages private lessons for DSYO members to develop their proficiency

·       Rehearses each week

·       Gives public concerts every Spring and Fall

·       Gives public performances in support of other non-profit organizations

If you have a child who wishes to audition, follow the Audition link below to submit an application. We welcome all string players of all levels, regardless of age who are in grades K-12. Requirements for each orchestra level is posted on the application form.
