A small string ensemble in Saratoga Springs got a lot more worldly during its 2013-2014 season. The Saratoga Springs Youth Orchestra (SSYO), an audition-only group that includes several young Niskayuna musicians, wrapped up its busy performance schedule with a trip to Italy to participate in a music festival and see the sights.
Mary Cowans, Niskayuna resident and SSYO board president, said the group was one of just three from the United States invited to play at the annual Festival Orchestre Giovanili. They sent a recording of their music to the organizers as an audition and were selected for their mature sound.
