 The Louisville
Youth Orchestra celebrates its 50th anniversary
this season.
The LYO, founded in 1958, provides an extraordinary musical
experience for young people from grade school through age 21. The LYO is
made up of four orchestras, two elementary string programs, and various
ensembles in which students advance according to their own musical
progression and interests. There are nearly 350 musicians from
60 schools
and 15 counties in the Louisville & Southern Indiana metro area.
Musicians are required to
participate in their school instrumental music programs and
must take private music instruction. Financial scholarships
for instruction are available and awarded based on need.
Performance opportunities provide a wide range of meaningful
experiences from September through June each year.
The LYO
depends on the generosity of patrons to make programming possible. We are
grateful to all private contributors as well as the following agencies for
helping to make this season successful:
