Welcome!

If you're looking for Mozart or Beethoven, you're in the wrong place.

Here, we make new music.

We put our heads and hands and hearts into it.  And we share it with excitement, energy and joy.    

Under the effusive, visionary leadership of Conductor/Music Director/Founder, Liza Grossman, CYO has become one of the premiere youth orchestras in the country. Since 1995, thousands of young musicians have passed through our ranks. We look forward to getting to know thousands more.   

Take a look around our site and get to know us.
