Youth Orchestra of Bucks County – More than music…more than musicians

Only music clarifies, reconciles, and consoles. But it is not a straw just barely clutched at. It is a faithful friend, protector, and comforter, and for its sake alone, life in this world is worth living. -- Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
