Worcester Youth String Ensembles Program

Sinfonia Strings (Grades 4 & 5)

This upper level string orchestra


Prelude Strings (Open to students who have been playing 1 year or less)

Our string orchestra is an excellent way for younger string players to develop their ensemble technique as well as focus on their skills as emerging violinists, violists and cellists.  Each week the orchestra focuses on scales, arpeggios and works on their own string repertoire.  Most students are in 4th to 6th grade.  We highly encourage our younger string players to play in this group as it provides them with an excellent foundation in their instrumental development.  The string orchestra usually performs 1-2 pieces with the Philharmonic in every concert.



Director: Jack Corbett

Rehearsals: Sundays, 1:30pm to 2:30pm, Trinity Lutheran, Worcester

School Music Program Participation Policy:

WYO ensemble and performance opportunities are intended to compliment school music programs. It is the policy of the Worcester Youth Orchestras that each student musician participates in his/her/their school music program, if offered at the musician’s school as part of the school day curriculum and/or as an after/before school activity or club. ​
