Biographical Note

The Riverside Youth Concert Series was founded in 1962 by members of the Riverside performing arts community to provide affordable fine art performances to local children. The goal of the organization was to showcase local performing organizations, encourage students to attend local cultural events, and provide educational experiences to local youth. The Youth Concert Series provided theater, dance, music, and art events with the cooperation of numerous local arts groups, including the Riverside Symphony Orchestra, the Riverside Art Association, the Riverside Opera Association, and the Riverside Community Players, until the organization disbanded in 1978.
