Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra

The Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra (GPYO) provides excellent training and performance opportunities for students seeking a challenging musical ensemble experience, and to cultivate a lifelong appreciation of the arts.

The GPYO is proud to be celebrating over 60 years of delighting audiences. Their ensembles are open to elementary to high school students by competitive audition. Through their involvement with the orchestra, gifted young musicians from across central New Jersey and Pennsylvania hone their skills as performers in a large orchestral group, as well as in chamber and quartet ensembles. They learn to work with others in pursuing common goals, and enrich their lives, as well as the lives of their audiences, through public performances of classical music.

The Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that is supported through membership fees, performance revenues, program ads, and generous gifts from individuals, local businesses, and foundations.
