Worcester Youth Philharmonic

A full orchestra (winds/brass/percussion/strings) is comprised of intermediate young musicians seeking ensemble experience in a welcoming but hardworking atmosphere.  Students learn to play in a large full orchestra, strengthen their ensemble skills and are introduced to the major composers and works.  Rehearsals are sometimes divided into string sectionals and the full ensemble.  Membership is open to 6th grade and up. Admission is through audition, average size is 50-60 players.  WYP usually collaborates with WYSO on one piece per season.   Players are highly encouraged to join WYP and gain the necessary orchestral training before auditioning for WYSO.

Rehearsal Schedule
Every Sunday, 3pm to 5pm at Trinity Lutheran, Worcester

Concert Schedule
4-5 performances a year.
