JHS Program Expansion
For the 2021-22 Season, the Willamette Valley Junior Honors Symphony program will expand from two 10-week sessions per year to a continuous season October-April! The expansion will include an additional concert in early February. We are thrilled our younger students will be able to participate in a longer season with more opportunities to perform, learn, and grow in their musicianship.
Audition information and a full season calendar for JHS's next season will be published in August. In the meantime, information about JHS can be found HERE.
