TYOF launches into a new era this year, its seventh season, with the appointment of the new Youth Symphony Orchestra Conductor, Dr. Peter Wilson. “We are thrilled with the selection. Peter will be a wonderful addition to our orchestra,” says Board Director Charles Fidler. “His superb musicianship and enthusiasm for children’s participation in youth orchestras will bring the orchestra to a new level of musical excellence.” Dr. Wilson is charged with growing the orchestra and ensuring the artistic development of the musicians. The selection committee was particularly impressed by Dr. Wilson’s demonstrated personal commitment to his own community, which promises to further TYOF’s goal as it strives to serve Fairfax County. The new conductor holds great promise for the future success of TYOF.
