The Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra (GPYO)includes students in grades 9-12 who commit extra time to the study of their instrument. The objective of the GPYO is to enhance the music curriculum currently offered in local public schools, and to provide a university-level youth orchestra program to area musicians.
The GPYO presents two full concerts each year plus one or two performances with other orchestras.
Membership is by audition only. Auditions are held in August and January (for new members only).
