For over 50 years, the Tacoma Youth Symphony Association has provided nurturing, all-inclusive programs for young musicians and once again showed their stars and stripes in their latest amazing performance at the Rialto Theater for their finale concert on Saturday, April 20th, which featured Spanish composers, along with the famous and rousing march, Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever. Dr. Paul Elliot Cobbs conducted with great love and elicited a response from the orchestra that is performance at its best. The orchestra has many talented young musicians that obviously love what they do, but is is their ability to play as one instrument that distinguishes them.
