Welcome to the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestras!

We are a regional youth orchestra non-profit organization dedicated to the development of  young musicians through training and performance. Our mission is to provide opportunities for young musicians to come together to rehearse and perform symphonic music. To achieve our mission, we are proud to provide the following musical opportunities. We currently have three levels of orchestra:

Camerata:  This group is for string players who have played for at least two years.

Symphonetta:  For wind, string, and percussion players of middle school age (entrance by audition).

Philharmonia:  For wind, string, and percusiion players of high school age (entrance by audition).

In addition, we have a Chamber Music program available for our Philharmonia orchestra members.

The season for NOYO includes three concerts: fall, winter and spring.

Our Summer Chamber Music Camp is wonderful opportunity for young musicians to get together and play music in a day camp environment.

In addition, we plan many other growth experiences such as musician retreats, school tours and orchestra exchanges that vary from season to season.

NOYO's mission is to provide opportunities for young musicians to come together to rehearse and perform symphonic music.
