Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra is getting ready for its second trimester. Young musicians with two or more years of playing experience are encouraged to join in the fun.

Second-trimester performances will include a Waltz Gala Ball on Feb. 13 at the Olson Mansion. This will be a black tie optional affair, which includes dinner, live music, professional ballroom dance performance and professional waltz lessons. It also will include a combined community choir and orchestra performance to perform Vaughn William’s Five Mystical Pieces on April 24 and 25.
