The San Bernardino Symphony Youth Orchestra will present its spring concert 3 p.m. May 18 in the auditorium on the campus of San Bernardino Valley College, 701 S. Mount Vernon Ave.

The program will include Aaron Copland’s “Hoedown,” highlights from “Wicked,” “An American in Paris” and “How to Train Your Dragon,” Jeffrey Bishop’s “Aethelinda” and Jay Ungar’s “Ashokan Farewell.”

The concert will also feature a new orchestral piece, “Short Emotional Sketches,” by Adam Arroyo, the San Bernardino Symphony Youth Orchestra’s newly named composer in residence.

Arroyo, a classically trained violist and composer, is studying at Cal State San Bernardino under Kevin Zhang, a board member of the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra. He has composed for the Cal State San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra and New Music Ensemble and has performed at the Seoul Arts Center in South Korea, according to a news release.

This is the second concert for the San Bernardino Symphony Youth Orchestra, which was established as an expansion of the San Bernardino Symphony’s Youth Wind Ensemble that began in 2021.

The full youth orchestra was established in the late summer of 2024 and performed its inaugural concert in December.

“As we are preparing to bring the first year of our San Bernardino Symphony Youth Orchestra to a close, we are reflecting on how proud we are of all of our students and how hard they have worked this year to grow, both as musicians, and also human beings,” Lucy Lewis, conductor of the youth orchestra, said in the news release.

Tickets for the May 18 concert are $10 for age 12 and older, free for children younger than 12, available at sanbernardinosymphony.org, by calling 909-381-5388 and at the door.
