Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Rehearsals and Performances

Provides orchestral training and performance opportunities to young musicians, divided into two orchestras:

• The Concert Orchestra, for junior or intermediate players with little or no experience playing in an orchestral setting. 
• The Philharmonic Orchestra, for intermediate or advanced players with orchestral experience. 

Players in the HPYO participate in full orchestra rehearsals, and receive sectional coaching twice per term with professional players from the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. There is one full-length concert per term, and members of the Philharmonic Orchestra participate in the HPO Side-by-Side holiday concert at FirstOntario Concert Hall.
