The Symphonic Youth Orchestra of Greater Indianapolis is a summer program designed to provide advanced high-school and exceptional middle-school musicians with the opportunity to work with professional musicians in the Indianapolis area to prepare orchestral repertoire at a level which is musically and aesthetically fulfilling.

The orchestra will be working hand-in-hand with members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Jazz Arts Society of Indiana, the Deep Fryed Acoustiblasters, and professors from IUPUI and the University of Indianapolis.

Rehearsals this season will be held on the IUPUI Campus on Tuesday evenings from May 5th through August 4th.  The season concludes with concerts at the Indianapolis Artsgarden on August 1, 2009, and at the Wheeler Arts Center on August 8, 2009.  Eligibility for the program is determined by a successful audition in which students present a sincere devotion to practicing, a high level of technical proficiency, and a well-developed sense of musicality.  (Students must be 18 years old or younger at the time of audition.)

There are still openings for string players. Interested musicians should contact SYOGI via e-mail at: music [at] syogi [dot] org.

With thanks to the IUPUI Music and Arts Technology program for the use of their facilities for our rehearsals!
