The Glendale Youth Orchestra is a leading independent youth music organization where our students are challenged musically and encouraged in a positive environment. Our students range in age from 10-23 and come from throughout Los Angeles County. The GYO is an advanced orchestra that performs three concerts each season of a wide range of music from classical to film to world music. Each week the students meet for three hours to rehearse under the direction of the conductor. The students are taught to work as a team and to listen to each other. The older students mentor the young members. The GYO wants our students to not only improve their musical talent but to grown as teens into young adults.
