The Lincoln Youth Symphony was organized in 1957 by the Lincoln Public Schools in order to give talented musicians the opportunity to extend their orchestral music performance. Membership is available to students in grade 9-12 in the City of Lincoln and is by audition only. The orchestra rehearses once each week for two and a half hours during the school year. Past orchestra conductors Bernard Nevin, Eugene Stoll, Orville Voss, June Moore, Harold Levin, Brian Moore, Michael Swartz, Huadong Lu and Bob Krueger have produced outstanding musicians and orchestras.
Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 4:00 to 6:30 at Lincoln High School and follow the Lincoln Public School calendar.

The orchestra's extensive travel history has included visits to Austria, Prague, Budapest, and, in 2009, Rome. It has also appeared at national music conferences in Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City.
