The Chester County Youth Orchestra (CCYO) provides an opportunity for students in grades 6-12 to experience the joy of making music with a full symphony orchestra, and allows them to meet fellow musicians from school districts across Chester County. The Orchestra is sponsored by the Chester County Intermediate Unit.

LATEST NEWS:

From Mr. Breton:
First violin auditions for any 2nd violinists who are interested will be this Wednesday, January 25th. Auditions will follow the same format as orchestra entrance auditions. This information is listed on the "Auditions" page.

On January 31, a quartet of CCYO musicians will perform at the Devereux Foundation in Dowingtown for some of their music students. Our young musicians, a cello, two violins and one viola, will visit Devereux from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. and play a number of selections and perform as a quartet, duet and a solo. The Devereux students will be from a variety of grades and after our students perform they will stay for conversation and questions.
