Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestras presents Symphonic Summer Sessions

Join the Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestras (NMYO) for its fourth annual summer music program the week of July 29 – August 2, 2024 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 124 River Rd, in Topsfield, MA.

NMYO’s Symphonic Summer Sessions includes a combination of small and large ensembles, jazz, pops, fiddling, traditional & concert band, symphonic works, and lots more! Youth musicians, with at least two years of instrument study with a private teacher and the ability to read music, can register. No auditions are required! Held this year at Trinity Episcopal Church in Topsfield, musicians will play music both inside and under canopies on the wooded grounds.

• Winds, brass and percussion musicians meet from 9:00-11:30am. They play in small groups as well as with a larger Wind Ensemble.
• String musicians who are at the end of Suzuki Book 1 or equivalent through Book 3 meet as a small string ensemble from 12:30-2:30pm with fiddling workshops included.
• Advanced string players, at the Suzuki Book 4 level or higher, meet from 2:00-5:00pm. These musicians play in a small chamber music group and a larger string ensemble, with time for fiddling as well.

“NMYO welcomes its current members and also any student musician in the area looking for an opportunity to play music with others this summer,” said Gerry Dolan, NMYO’s Music Director. Led by NMYO’s outstanding conducting staff and guest teaching artists, young musicians will enjoy a valuable musical experience and a fun opportunity to keep up their skills during the summer break from school.
