The Bainbridge Island Youth Orchetsra

Fosters musicianship and camaraderie within the community through education and performance.

The Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra consists of two ensembles - the Orchestra and the Sinfonietta - plus several ensembles during the Spring Melodies term.

The Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra was formed in 2001 by parents and local teachers because of a desire to have our children grow up with orchestra being an essential part of their musical experience.  We have a hope that through BIYO our sons and daughters will see the tremendous joy a musician can experience while working in camaraderie with others; will learn how  to express beauty, and will understand the effects joy and beauty can have on the world.. We have a hope that through their study of orchestral music they will learn the importance of striving for excellence, and the responsibilites of working in community with others. .

BIYO is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization which fosters musicianship and camaraderie within the community through education and performance. Your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
