Akron Youth Symphony

The Akron Youth Symphony, under the direction of the Akron Symphony Orchestra's assistant conductor Christopher James Lees (2010 is now taken over my Conductor Levi Hammer) , rehearses and performs a diverse repertoire of music. As an affiliate of the Akron Symphony, the Youth Symphony receives direction from Symphony members. As one of Ohio's Youth Orchestras, at over fifty years, the Orchestra has long-standing ties as one of the flagship youth orchestras.
==Notable performances==
The Youth Symphony has played many concerts at Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall. Most notably however, in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the orchestra's founding, the Akron Youth Symphony played at Carnegie Hall. The orchestra has been invited by the Ohio Music Educators Association (OMEA) to play at the State Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
