Dubuque Symphony Orchestra Youth Ensemble Tickets

The Dubuque Symphony Orchestra Youth Ensemble (DSYE) serves as the premier youth-education arm of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra. Composed of four ensembles—DYSE, DYP, DYWE, and DSYO—DSYE provides high-caliber training, performance opportunities, and a clear path toward lifelong involvement with orchestral music for aspiring young musicians in the Dubuque region. Auditions are organized by Hannah Von Mulert, with tuition details available through the DSYE program. Rehearsals take place Sunday evenings at Clarke University from September through May. DSYE traces its roots to the late 1960s, evolving from the DYSO and forming a cornerstone of the DSYO program that began as a feeder ensemble for the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra (DSO).

In 2025, DSYE offers exciting opportunities for young musicians and fans alike, including the Fall Concert at the Five Flags Center. The 2025-26 season features a DSO/DSYE side-by-side concert at the Five Flags Theater. The annual Youth Concerto Competition provides cash prizes and potential performances with the DSO or DSYO.

Secure your seats for these energetic performances and support the next generation of orchestral talent in Dubuque.
