Why Join BYO

Warm UP

BYO is ideal for talented musicians eager to:

  • join an outstanding full symphonic youth orchestra,
  • be part of a chamber ensemble group with its own
    professional coach,
  • attend a season-opening weekend retreat at
    Cazadero Performing Arts Camp,
  • optionally participate in our annual Concerto
    Competition for selection as a featured soloist with the full orchestra.
  • rehearse and perform in a state-of-the art theater with practice rooms
  • receive high school or college credit for your participation

Students typically are in grades 5-10s, participate in a school music program, if available, and engage in private lessons. Financial aid is available to qualifying applicants. Financial aid applications will be posted soon; they are due to Kate McLoughlin in September.
