Youth Orchestra

The Youth Orchestra (EPYO), conducted by General Manager Mr. Nathan Black, is a conservatory level, full symphony orchestra in which students are challenged with exceptionally difficult literature, and perform at a number of extra concerts and engagements throughout the year.

The Youth Orchestra (EPYO) is for students:

13 to 23 Years of Age

(advanced 8th graders – college undergrads)

Though the majority of students fit into these age groups, upon request, exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Music Director, in consultation with the conductors.
