Neighborhood Music School is proud to introduce our Youth Orchestra program. Our mission is to elevate the talents of our budding musical artists and further inspire their studies in a fun and friendly learning environment. Seasoned teachers with years of professional orchestral experience will lead each session and performance.
The Neighborhood Music School Youth Orchestra will offer several ensembles from very beginner to intermediate level.
