Even through difficult times, organizations enhance the quality of our children’s lives.

“The DC Youth Orchestra Program provides music classes and ensemble training to all students who wish to participate. Because of the program’s unique structure and curriculum, no child is turned away and every child is challenged by being placed in a level appropriate to his or her ability. We accept all students, regardless of experience or income level.

Every year, over 600 children play in the DC Youth Orchestra Program, making it the largest youth orchestra in the Washington area. The DCYOP offers a comprehensive music education program that serves young people in the greater DC metropolitan area. Instruction is available for all orchestra and wind ensemble (band) instruments; beginning, intermediate, and advanced students, ranging in age from 4 1/2 to 19. Students participate in classes for their individual instrument or section, and also participate in one of 9 major ensembles (orchestra or band). There are a total of 12 ensembles in the program: 2 full orchestras, 4 string orchestras, 3 wind ensembles, 2 string orchestras, and multiple class ensembles. Some students in upper levels also participate in smaller chamber ensemble opportunities as they arise.”

The Washington Post states: “No musical institution in the District of Columbia is more important than the DC Youth Orchestra Program.”
