The Performance
Join MYO Director Krystle Ford at Hilbert Circle Theatre on January 22 at 3 p.m. for this free Winter Concert with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra!
MYO develops musical skills and helps students realize their potential. Students learn to play in a fun, engaging, and challenging environment led by expert faculty with a long-term commitment to the learning process. Students form part of the MYO leadership team and a culture of support lays the foundation for life-skill development. Culturally responsive teaching is a key element, helping to build a space that’s respectful and inclusive.
By providing students in and around Indianapolis with opportunities for after school and weekend programming, the MYO helps to keep kids in school and encourages school engagement.
