CYO has grown to its present size through the leadership of its Board of Directors and Lynda Ables, Director of Music for the Kerrville First United Methodist Church and HCYO Facilitator from 1995 until her retirement in 2009. HCYO brings the orchestra experience to over one hundred of the Hill Country's young people every year. Students come from Kerrville, Ingram, Fredericksburg, Junction, Bandera, Center Point, San Antonio, Bulverde, Comfort, Harper, and Boerne. Our mission: "Bringing the joy of the orchestra experience to the youth of the Hill Country", provides educational opportunities to all children, regardless of race, color, creed, disability, or economic status. HCYO provides a full tuition orchestra scholarship for each participating child, made possible through generous donations and grants from many enthusiastic supporters from around the country.
