McLean Youth Orchestra

Sign up for the summer program!

Parents - please make sure your musicians are in place at 8:45 a.m. for warmups and remember your volunteer commitments. Rehearsals start promptly at 9 a.m. - see rehearsal schedule for dates and times.

Designed for young musicians between the ages of 12 and 18, the McLean Youth Orchestra (MYO) offers serious music students the opportunity to play in an accomplished orchestra while developing their musical skills. An annual concerto competition allows students to win cash prizes to further their music education. Winners of the competition are rewarded with a recital at the historic Lyceum in Old Town Alexandria. Exposed to a repertoire that challenges and enhances their abilities, MYO members learn from and play with talented guest artists from all over the metropolitan area. MYO also has a strong international focus, helping students to expand their global musical experiences through exchange programs. In the past MYO has either traveled to Japan or hosted musicians from its "sister" youth orchestra from Chiba, Japan. In addition, students participating in ensembles this year will be granted college credit through Northern Virginia Community College.

The McLean Youth Orchestra is a program of the McLean Orchestra.
