Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra

Welcome to new member Renee Sipes! Looking forward to a great 20-21 season.

UPDATE ON AUDITIONS DUE TO THE VIRUS SITUATION: #RPYO auditions will continue per our previously stated schedule HOWEVER all the auditions will now occur via video-recording only. There will be NO face-to-face auditions. Applicants will be sent specific procedures as to how to video record and how to upload their recordings. Video recordings can be uploaded anytime from today through March 28, 2020 (the previously scheduled in-person audition date). Percussion applicants have been sent additional information if they have no access to the required percussion instruments. Thank you for your patience should there be any snags in this process. ~Irene Narotsky, RPYO Manager
