Love classical music? Check out the talents of the next generation of players at a couple of upcoming concerts in Burnaby.

The Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra is presenting a pair of concerts at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave.

On Sunday, Nov. 25 at 2:30 p.m., you can hear the organization’s debut and senior orchestras in a program of orchestral favourites.

The debut orchestra is for string musicians aged eight to 11 who have little or no previous ensemble experience. The senior level is a full orchestra and boasts some of Canada’s most advanced young musicians, up to 22 years old.

Then, on Sunday, Dec. 9, you can hear from the organization’s other two levels, the junior and intermediate orchestras, in a program called Holiday Fun. That concert is also at 2:30 p.m.

Admission to both concerts is by donation. Check out www.vyso.com for more on the orchestras.
