Orchestras & Ensembles
WYO offers various programs with different orchestras & bands for various stages of a student's development. The Worcester Youth Symphony Orchestra (WYSO) is for older and advanced musicians. The Worcester Youth Philharmonic (WYP) & String Orchestra (WY Strings) are for players that have had less experience playing in an orchestral setting and receive intensive training in playing in a larger full orchestra ensemble. The WY Wind Ensemble explores a wide variety of band literature and the WY Jazz Program provides students with wide range of traditional and contemporary jazz repertoire. WYO is also pleased to offer chamber music through its Honors Program.
Members of the Worcester Youth Orchestra have the opportunity to perform in some of the finest concert halls in the state. The WYO office is located at glorious Mechanics Hall where we present 4-5 concerts each season. Additionally, each ensemble gives a fall and spring concert of their own across Worcester County. Weekly rehearsals are held in Shrewsbury & Worcester.
