There are 185 musicians from over 60 schools in the greater Charlotte area involved in the youth orchestras program. This year nearly 300 students auditioned for seats in one of the two youth orchestras. Each group rehearses weekly and one rehearsal a month is devoted to coaching sessions provided by members of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.The Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra is open to students in grades 8 through 12, although exceptions will be made for very advanced younger students to be members. The Junior Youth Orchestra is for students from grades 4 through 9. This highly successful orchestra provides training sessions, which cover all of the basics of being an orchestral musician.
