The  Savannah Philharmonic is proud to announce the creation of the Savannah Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (SPYO), where young musicians can dream big, grow with confidence, and share the joy of music with their community. The newly established SPYO will invite students from the Philharmonic’s String Program and sectional groups to audition on Friday, September 26th.

The Savannah Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is the next step for the Savannah Philharmonic’s education programs, allowing students to build on what they’ve learned and grow even further by playing exciting orchestra music side-by-side with friends, learning from experienced instructors, and performing in concerts that bring pride to both their families and the community.

The SPYO will rehearse weekly starting in October, with Savannah Philharmonic’s Music & Artistic Director, Keitaro Harada, conducting two concerts to be held in December and April.

The Savannah Philharmonic Youth Orchestra will have annual tuition, with scholarships available for qualifying families.
