Northern Valley Youth Orchestras
About us...
Northern Valley Youth Orchestras is in its TENTH year of inspiring musicians and engaging communities. NVYO offers two orchestras, a chamber music program (Crescendo), and a summer day camp (Dal Segno). NVYO provides young musicians aged 12 to 21 with symphonic and chamber music experience, community connections, and opportunities to stretch and challenge themselves in a supportive setting. Participants throughout the year number over 120 and come from cities and towns within a 75-mile range of Grand Forks. NVYO Alumni pursue degrees in a variety of professional fields including music and the sciences, and consistently earn places at excellent colleges and universities both locally and around the country. NVYO's two orchestras, Philharmonic and Symphony, rehearse weekly from September to March - this year temporarily relocated to the Alerus Center - and typically perform two to three formal concerts per season. Guest clinicians and professional instrumentalists provide additional mentoring and orchestral training, and a variety of community performances are offered to students as well. NVYO is fully committed to diversity and inclusion in its activities and membership, and believes firmly that music, including classical music, is for everyone. NVYO has an office located in the Empire Arts Center, as well as a membership at the 701 Coworking Space.
