Symphony Orchestra

The YOR Symphony Orchestra draws its members from among the most talented young musicians from northern Colorado and southern Wyoming . The Symphony presents three major concerts per year in Fort Collins and tours the region providing high quality concerts and additional performance experience for our musicians.

The Symphony is YOR’s most advanced ensemble. Musicians up to age of 22 may audition for the Symphony, but there is no minimum age. Membership is ability based. Auditions are held each year for new and returning members alike.
