We invite you to join Ozarks Philharmonic Youth Orchestras and experience the youth orchestra’s ‘Pursuit of Excellence’. You will have fun, play challenging music, and learn what the orchestra experience is all about; plus travel to perform in the finest concert halls, receive coaching from professional musicians, and make a lot of new and lasting friendships with fellow musicians.Membership in OPYO is open to highly qualified players of orchestral instruments from Northwest Arkansas and the surrounding area. Generally, students are between the ages of 6 and 19 years. Members are selected on the basis of an audition and are placed in one of the ensembles.
