Our Youth Orchestra Ensembles
Our ensembles are for students with 3 or more years of experience on their instrument. Advanced musicians that successfully demonstrate a level of playing equal to the Oregon High School All State Audition requirements, will be placed in additional chamber groups.
Roughly the groups will be divided, with the Youth Orchestra being an inclusive ensemble that all COYO musicians will participate in. In this ensemble, the more proficient musicians will have the opportunity to mentor our less experienced members and lead sectionals. The Camerata will be exclusively for our more advanced musicians where they can showcase their abilities performing upper-level musical repertoire.
