Dedication... determination... diversity. These words have been synonymous with the Dekalb Youth Symphony Orchestra since its founding in Dekalb County, Georgia in 1967. In our 58th season this year, these words still exemplify the unique qualities that have set the oldest youth orchestra in metro Atlanta apart, and make it such a special group of student musicians and instructors. Please know, these words are more than a slogan. They are our mission!
