Joy of Music Youth Orchestra (JYO)
JYO is an exciting orchestra experience for advanced string, woodwind, brass, and percussion players to enjoy playing together and enhance their orchestral skills. Recent repertoire includes works by J. S. Bach, Bartók, Beethoven, Bizet, Debussy, Dvořák, Elgar, Fauré, Haydn, Mozart, Saint-Saëns, and Schubert. Rehearsals focus on developing musicianship and ensemble skills while refining interpretation, intonation, and sound.
In addition to two annual concerts, this year’s schedule will include a special Orchestra Residency Week with world-renowned violinist Midori, taking place in March 2026. Through her Orchestra Residencies Program (ORP), Midori and her team will lead workshops and rehearsals focused on musical collaboration, community engagement, and artistic growth. The week will culminate in a public performance on Saturday, March 7, featuring Midori as soloist with JYO.
JYO’s final spring concert takes place on stage at Worcester’s iconic Mechanics Hall.
