Special notice as of 18 April 2011

The Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA) is committed to the musical education of this region's children. That commitment is reflected in SoNA's affiliation with the Ozarks Philharmonic Youth Orchestras. SoNA Music Director Paul Haas is familiar with the needs of young musicians, as he is the former music director of the New York Youth Symphony. "Working with young people has always been an important part of my musical life, and we at SoNA are committed both to providing high quality arts education to students in Northwest Arkansas and to helping other organizations who are striving to do the same," Haas said. "We applaud the OPYO and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."
