The Beaufort Youth Orchestra
The Beaufort Orchestra is not only a performing organization but also provides opportunities for young musicians to develop their talent as members of the Beaufort Youth Orchestra. In the spring of 1999, Fred Devyatkin realized a dream of forming a youth orchestra. With the backing of the Board and widespread parental and community support, a nucleus of young players presented their first concert.
The Youth Orchestra has grown to 30 plus members, many of whom donate time and talent for fundraising events sponsored by the orchestra. You may see some of them performing with our larger Orchestra.
With the aid of Orchestra and community-based scholarships, a number of former members are continueing their musical educations. Other contributions provide funds for individual lessons and summer music camp opportunities for the next generation of orchestra musicians.

The Youth Orchestra maintains a complete schedule of preformances. This season, they will present three concerts.
