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.
