JOIN US FOR OUR 60th ANNIVERSARY SEASON
NIAGARA’S PREMIERE TRAINING GROUND FOR YOUNG ORCHESTRAL MUSICIANS
**Placement auditions available throughout the season.
Austria 2025
The Niagara Youth Orchestra (NYO) is excited to announce its transformative 60th anniversary trip to Austria, where we will proudly represent Canada at the prestigious Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival, coinciding with Johann Strauss’ 200th birthday.
As the premier organization of its kind in Niagara—and a leader in Ontario—NYO delivers exceptional coaching in percussion, wind, brass, and string instruments. Our students engage in intensive weekly sessions and consistently showcase their talents through three public performances each year.
This milestone trip offers our young musicians an unparalleled opportunity to enhance their skills through professional workshops and perform in iconic venues like the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. However, to ensure that every dedicated musician can participate, we need your support. We invite you to join us in celebrating our 60th year by contributing to our "NYO 60th Anniversary Tour & Legacy" campaign, which encourages donations of at least $60 in honour of our anniversary—though any amount is greatly appreciated.
There are also exciting sponsorship and donor opportunities available to support our season and members. Please reach out to Jenn McKillop at music@niagarayouthorchestra.org, or visit our website or Canada Helps page to make a meaningful contribution.
