Alton Symphony Orchestra

The ASO has committed itself to supporting music education and young musicians.  The Alton Symphony Orchestra is proud to sponsor our two educational programs, designed to help young musicians showcase their talents and further their music education through scholarships. We encourage all young musicians to audition for the Marie Stillwell Young Artists' Competition and/or apply for The ASO Music For All Scholarship.
