Amarillo Youth Preparatory Tickets

Amarillo Youth Preparatory (ASYO) is the entry point for young musicians in Amarillo to grow, perform, and collaborate at a high level. With four ensembles spanning beginner to advanced levels, ASYO provides a clear path from a semester of experience to audition-only orchestras. Rehearsals take place in Amarillo, and the organization stages two season concerts at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts. ASYO is rooted in opportunity, mentorship, and generous community support, making it a reliable platform for aspiring performers to secure seats in a meaningful musical journey.

ASYO operates under a team of dedicated directors who guide each ensemble: Alejandra Attebury oversees Preparatory Strings, Matias Arámbula IV leads Sinfonia, Dr. Christopher Reidlinger directs the Philharmonic, and Dr. Guglielmo Manfredi shepherds the Youth Symphony. Their combined expertise helps nurture musical growth while keeping performances accessible and authentic.

Upcoming highlights include the Youth Symphony's anticipated side-by-side collaboration with the Amarillo Symphony for Prokofiev’s Hymn to Freedom in March 2026. This ambitious project demonstrates ASYO's commitment to expanding opportunities for young artists and creating memorable experiences for audiences across Amarillo. For those interested in joining, ASYO encourages auditions and informal experiences through its four ensembles, with Preparatory Strings open to players with at least one semester of experience. Amarillo Symphony regularly shares ASYO updates via social channels like Instagram and YouTube, helping families stay connected to performances, rehearsals, and opportunities.
