Hill Country Youth Orchestras
The Hill Country Youth Orchestras are an outreach of the Music Ministry that involves over a hundred and twenty five children and youth from the church, Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, Junction, Fredericksburg, Mason, Boerne and San Antonio. Players are grouped into ensembles by playing experience. Lessons are taught at the church and in homes. The Hill Country Youth Orchestra meets each Monday, September through May in the Rehearsal Hall. Four teachers work with the string students in group settings each Monday night. Brass, woodwind and percussion players audition for spot in the orchestra.
