The Edmonton Youth Orchestra Association
The Edmonton Youth Orchestra
Association, formed in 1952, supports two nationally renowned
symphony orchestras: The Intermediate
Youth Orchestra, and The
Senior Youth Orchestra. Through these two orchestras,
the EYO's music program, one of the finest in Canada, provides
the highest possible standard of orchestral training and experience
to over 150 music students from age 11 to 24.
The EYO experience
has a profound and lasting impact on the lives of EYO "graduates."
Some become music teachers, members of professional orchestras,
or soloists. All are motivated students sharing a love of music.Our
program includes regular weekly rehearsals from September through
May concert performances
for each orchestra weekend
workshops scholarships
and a concerto competition jointly sponsored by the EYO and
the Alberta Registered Music Teachers' Association. Players
for both orchestras are selected by competitive auditions held
each May. The annual membership fee is $200.
