Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra Program (YOP) is the Richmond Symphony’s flagship educational program. Founded in 1962, YOP consists of four youth orchestras that provide beginning to advanced musical training. As the premier orchestral training program of central Virginia, students participate in weekly rehearsals, coaching and masterclasses by Richmond Symphony musicians, chamber music performances, mentoring and other musical and social activities. The Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra (RSYO) is an advanced, full level orchestra that offers a pre-college orchestra experience for the serious student musician. Nearly all members of RSYO study with private instructors and all are leaders in their school programs. RSYO performs masterworks of the orchestral repertoire. Students in RSYO hold themselves to a high level of discipline, preparation and musicianship. Learn more about RSYO by clicking here.
