Repertory Youth Orchestra (RYO)

The Repertory Youth Orchestra (RYO) is a full orchestra (strings, plus woodwinds, brass, and percussion) for intermediate and advancing level musicians.

RYO musicians will have in-depth sectional coaching (strings and brass/winds separate) as well as tutti ensemble (all together) rehearsals with professional musicians and conductors. Shifting and vibrato are skills that students should have already learned with a private lesson instructor before becoming a member of this group. Accuracy of pitch and rhythm are vital.

RYO performs arrangements of standard classical orchestral repertoire at a graded Level 4 in the state of Georgia. It is strongly advised that all Repertory Youth Orchestra musicians have a private instructor.

RYO rehearsals are on Saturday mornings at the Calvary Day School located at 4625 Waters Avenue (at 63rd Street).
