About EPYO

The Evansville Philharmonic Youth Orchestras serve, empower, and connect youth of all backgrounds by cultivating musicianship and leadership skills through the performance of orchestral music.

EPYO I is a full orchestra with strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. It features EPYO's most advanced student musicians who demonstrate strong musicianship and technical ability. The ensemble performs a wide range of repertoire including standard symphonic masterworks and contemporary compositions by living composers.

EPYO II is an intermediate-level orchestra, and students in the ensemble gain exposure to a variety of repertoire and musical styles. The EPYO II is designed to help students develop a beautiful tone, a strong inner pulse, accurate pitch, vibrato, and off-the-string bowing techniques.
