Registrations for MCYO 2010-11 Auditions has been CLOSED!

   ► New Strings Preparatory Ensemble: Geared towards elementary string musicians of grade 3-5. Click for more info!

Each orchestra rehearses weekly throughout the school year on Wednesday evenings (locations can be found here), and also receives regular sectional coaching by professional string, woodwind, brass, and percussion coaches.

► MCYO strongly encourages its musicians to participate in their school music programs.  The daily ensemble experience greatly enhances our program. 

► MCYO requires that all musicians be taking weekly private lessons on their orchestra instrument.  It is essential that musicians receive this guidance throughout the entire season.

► Each musician is assessed an annual tuition/membership fee.  Also, there is a one-time-only music folder fee.

MCYO audition requirements can be viewed as a web page or a PDF.

Need based scholarships are available for musicians to help pay for private lessons and/or MCYO membership fees.
