The Charlotte Symphony
Youth Orchestras

 |
The Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestras are the educational components
of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. Students from the areas
surrounding Charlotte are offered a unique performing experience in
which talented young musicians obtain musical training in a
semi-professional ensemble setting.
The Charlotte Symphony Junior Youth Orchestra is for students in
grades 4 through 9. This highly successful orchestra provides training
sessions, which covers the basics of being an orchestra musician.
There is a one-day "mini camp" in the fall, sponsored by the Symphony
Guild. This special day provides an opportunity for intensive
rehearsals and recreational activities.
The Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra is open to students in grades 8
through 12, although exceptions can be made for very advanced younger
students. The group performs about six concerts a year. Their first
concert of the season is performed at the Symphony Guild ASID Designer
House on Opening Day.
Members of the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra also enjoy a
week-long resident music camp underwritten by the Symphony Guild. The
Guild provides scholarships for members of both orchestras. |

the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra – an experience they will never
forget! |
