This fall, Austin Youth Orchestra presents American Voices, a musical exploration celebrating America’s 250th birthday through the extraordinary range of traditions, histories, communities, and sounds that have shaped American music.

Featuring works by George Gershwin, William Grant Still, Florence Price, JaRod Hall, Robert Sheldon, and more, American Voices brings all five AYO orchestras together to ask: Whose voices and musical traditions make up American music?
