Beaumont Enterprise | The Symphony of Southeast Texas performs onstage at the Jefferson Theater during the first of its four annual Youth Education Concerts Tuesday morning. Students from school districts throughout Southeast Texas and home-schooled children filled the theater seats, many of them getting their first exposure to a symphony performance.

Rachel Clark, a home-schooled student and harpist who won a solo spot with the symphony through their Concerto Competition, also performed for the group.
