The Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra is comprised of middle school, high school, and early collegiate students through the age of 21. Its members reside across the Gulf Coast region. Auditions are held in late August each year. Inquires about eligibility or participation in the orchestra may be directed to Robert Seebacher at 251-432-2010.

The mission of the Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra is to offer young instrumental musicians in the Gulf Coast community an opportunity for growth and development through learning various styles of musical literature in a full symphonic orchestra setting.  The Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra provides string, brass, wind and percussion students with instruction and experience as they learn the orchestral repertoire and improve their reading and playing skills.  As they work with other young artists, as well as highly skilled, professional, guest soloists, they not only develop their individual musical skills and enjoy social interaction with other young, talented individuals, but also learn that participation in a group endeavor offers an experience far greater than one might achieve individually.
