The RPYO Chamber Orchestra was established in 1999 by RPYO Music Director David Harman for these purposes:

• To give RPYO students the opportunity to expand their musical repertoire and ensemble experience by performing music written for smaller-scale orchestras;

• To enable RPYO students to learn performance techniques associated generally with music of the Baroque and Classical eras;

• To provide these opportunities to interested students without detracting from the primary purpose of the RPYO, which is to perform large-scale symphonic works for full orchestra.

The RPYO Chamber Orchestra rehearses during the autumn months and presents one or two concerts in attractive, intimate venues in the community
