Founded in 1955, our purpose is to support and promote the growth of the East Texas Symphony Orchestra and to encourage music education within our community. With over 700 members, we raised over $234,000 for the 2006-2007 season. This goes to support the ETSO, the Tyler Youth Orchestra, the WSL Endowment and Memorials, Kirshbaum Strings, TASO Youth Concerto Competition, and other music education programs.
