Spring Concert

Valley Youth Orchestra Hits the Road!

MAY 5-17, 2017

We have done lots of travel up and down The Western Slope throughout the years with our popular “Strings in Schools” program -- including this coming December -- but now we are gearing up for a first-ever performance trip to The Front Range May 5-7, 2017.

It has been an honor to be included in the prestigious “Music in the Parks,” a nationwide program that is held in the Denver area for Colorado-based youth orchestras and other arts performance groups who qualify. The VYO qualified two symphonic groups, one comprised of high schoolers and the other is a mix of
both elementary and middle school grades. This is a wonderful opportunity to broaden our horizons under the scrutiny of competition and judges, as well as bonding as a group through spirited travel, Denver-area tour sites and a fun day at Elitch Gardens!

We have a strong commitment from nearly every VYO member to represent us on this trip. There is a great deal of fundraising needed and this is your chance to help create this opportunity for the children. Thank you for your support!
