The
purpose of TACAS Youth Symphony is to introduce cultural Chinese music to
the public while using traditional western orchestral instruments. Our
mission is to promote cultural exchange to the public and to spread cultural
awareness to younger generation. The group had its first performance
in 2002 at the annual TACAS Chinese New Year Festival. Since then, the
orchestra has grown and become an accomplished symphony, even having the
honor of being invited to perform at Governor's mansion for the last four
years. Our young musicians also participate in many community service
functions - performing for local retirement homes, museums and much more.
TACAS Youth Symphony is managed by the orchestral
youth, as member elect their own executive board to lead and manage the
group's activities and schedule. The music director of TACAS youth
symphony is Mr. Yiying Qiao of Cary Academy.
Any youth above age 13 is eligible to join the TACAS
Youth Symphony. If
