Beginning with the 2008-2009 concert season, the Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association will be providing an opportunity for extremely gifted, young string musicians to audition to become members of Con Vivo!, a chamber string orchestra. Con Vivo! will offer its players a venue in which to perform first-rate string orchestra literature, prepare for personal musical ambitions, and participate in performance tours both regionally and abroad.
