Niagara Youth Orchestra

Founded by Paul van Dongen, the Niagara Youth Orchestra is the premier training ground for young orchestral musicians under 25 years old in the Niagara region.  Led by professional coaches and conductors who are affiliated with orchestras across the province, the junior and senior members of the Niagara Youth Orchestra receive extensive music education and performance experiences through regular concert seasons and special events. Membership in the orchestra is determined via a placement interview and can be scheduled by emailing us at music@niagarayouthorchestra.org.
