Greater Newark Youth Orchestras

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra is comprised of some of the country’s finest musicians. Artistic excellence, innovative programming and community engagement are hallmarks of its mission. Education and outreach programs enrich the listening experience for all. Established in 1990, the NJSO’s Greater Newark Youth Orchestras give all qualified middle- and high-school students — especially minority youth — the opportunity to study weekly with NJSO musicians and gain performance experience in an encouraging and motivating environment. The program is comprised of three separate ensembles (Youth Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and Violin Ensemble) which perform two full concerts each year. Additionally, the Youth Orchestra performs a side-by-side concert with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
