Youth Orchestras and Summer Music Camps

There are several Youth Orchestras in the Chicagoland area that students may participate in. Youth Orchestras offer a great chance for students to connect with students from other districts, develop friendships, learn from other music teachers, and play a more music! Check out the list below:
