The Young Virtuosos is an orchestral collective comprising various students from Music Banter City's public school system. They range in age from 9 to 16 and are currently conducted and managed by an eccentric music teacher from one of the city's high schools, Dr. Dan. Although his influence is strong, due to union issues he is not permitted to commercially release albums or book high-grossing gigs for the group. He is looking for a carriage through which he can pedal the performers, as well as himself, to fame, fortune and noteriety. The group has never released an album but are familiar with a repitoire that consists of over 50 songs. Another unique characteristic of the group is that the older members are encouraged to write compositions for the orchestra to play. These range from stylized period pieces to dissonant modernistic opuses. Every member of the group is extremely musically talented, and Dr. Dan has a PhD in Music Composition and Theory as well as a double major in Philosophy and Classical Piano Performance. The band, due to its size and liability issues with the school, cannot perform in a traditional audition. However, Dr. Dan hinted at arriving at their next concert, which is being held tonight at MBHS (Music Banter High School) to hear them play.
