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.

SYOGI 2009 members.

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.

The 2010 season will conclude with a season finale concerts open to the public at no charge.  These concerts will be held on Saturday, July 31 at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, and Saturday, August 7 at Cathedral High School. 

Eligibility for the SYO 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 are eligible up through the summer after their Senior year of high school. 

This year, SYO is also offering a summer internship program available to College Music Students.  Email music@syogi.org for more information.
