Who we are.
The Las Vegas Youth Orchestras (LVYO) consists of three separate ensembles based upon age (from 8-18) and playing ability. It is a diverse group of over 185 students from the Las Vegas valley and is an after-school program that serves the youth in southern Nevada. Auditions are required. LVYO is open to CCSD, private, and home-schooled students.
What we offer.
The upper-level group, the Youth Philharmonic, performs symphonic repertoire as students prepare for entry into collegiate and professional level organizations. An annual concerto competition features a Youth Philharmonic soloist performing at the Spring Concert.
For the Symphony, LVYO provides students playing at an intermediate level, the opportunity to build instrument skills & enrich their band and orchestra experiences. The artistry of these students is showcased by numerous public performances at key community venues throughout the year.
In addition to these programs, LVYO offers a Jazz band.
The success of the LVYO is shown by over 50 years of history.
