The RPYO is a symphony orchestra made up of the most advanced high
school and middle school students in the greater Rochester area. These 95 to 100 students, from
more than thirty different schools, have committed themselves to
the challenge of performing the masterworks
of symphonic music. Motivated and guided by longtime RPYO Music
Director Dr. David Harman, they attain a superb level of musical
accomplishment.
Sponsored by the Education
Department of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the RPYO provides opportunities
for students to work closely with RPO musicians in coaching
sessions and on the concert stage. Its students come from a
six-county area in and around Rochester. They develop life-long
habits of collaboration and purposeful commitment as they learn
advanced ensemble performance skills.
