Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra

Founded in 1986, the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra has been producing exceptional orchestral music for over thirty years. Season after season, the GVYO presents a truly impressive range of repertoire to Victoria's audiences, sharing their magnificent music with school children at home and as far afield as Haida Gwaii (2001), the Yukon Territory (2006), the Kootenay region (2016).
Guided by internationally acclaimed conductors and coaches, the orchestra provides outstanding opportunities to young, dedicated musicians. GVYO alumni can be found in prestigious schools, ensembles, and orchestras throughout the world. Join us this season, and be uplifted by the passion our youth bring to the world's best music!
