During their layover, they rocked a Pop-Up Orchestra. This is their cover of Gotye&#8217;s &#8220;Somebody That I Used to Know&#8221;&#8230;shot in one shot, walking through the airport. Stop and feel the music.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of Youth Orchestras of San Antonio, the premier orchestral experience for youth citywide, is to enhance education, enrich the community and transform lives by pursuing excellence in classical music in a stimulating, nurturing and fun environment that is equally accessible to all youth.
