The orchestra would like to thank The City of McKinney and The McKinney Arts Commission for its continuous support since 2014 when the orchestra decided to call McKinney home. Because of the commitment to community the orchestra has developed many outreach and education programs and starting next season the Odysseus Orchestra has formed a new exciting youth orchestra that will serve the North Texas/ Collin County region.
