Jerome Fleg, guest conductor Spring '10
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, CO, 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.

Concert
Orchestra
The Concert Strings group builds upon our younger
musicians’ skills to develop musicality, improve technical
ability and sight reading, and prepare them for the Symphony
Orchestra. Concert Strings musicians learn challenging works,
and every Concert Strings member participates in a Prelude
Chamber Ensemble with individual coaching. Concert Strings
performs two major orchestra and chamber concerts per season
as well as at the Parent Guild’s Fall Fundraiser. Prelude
Chamber Ensembles are required to perform at least one concert
at a small venue within the community, such as a school,
business, or nursing home.

Prelude Chamber Ensembles
The Prelude Chamber Ensembles program is a groundbreaking program
designed to give the younger musicians of the Concert Orchestra
group early experience with chamber music rehearsal and performance.
The following are objectives of the program:
- The students will learn to be musically independent through
preparing and performing ensemble music that requires individual
responsibility
- Students will learn communication skills/problem solving,
verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and necessary
small ensemble techniques
- The students will also learn performance etiquette and
professional expectations in both rehearsal and concert settings
Elementary
Strings
The Elementary Strings program is a pilot program
for Spring '10, which will hopefully enter the official YOR
fleet in the fall.
