Our Programs
We offer a range of programs designed to meet students where they are, from beginners to advanced performers.
Our Core Values
We inspire our musicians and our instructors to develop and cultivate a love for music, and to share their music and passion with the community.
Music is for everyone. We foster the development of individual and group skills in an atmosphere of inclusivity, openness, collaboration, and passion. KYO encourages excellence within a nurturing environment.
The Kawartha Youth Orchestra is much more than dedicated student musicians led by dynamic teaching artists – although that is pretty great. We are community.
What Our Community is Saying
We are proud to have the support of our incredible community of parents and students.
The KYO embraced my son with open arms and through its commitment to his development was able to further drive not only advancement in music but also confidence and life skills.

My daughter LOVED the UPBEAT pilot program. She provided rave reviews on every ride home and would look forward to each and every session. Congratulations on such a successful pilot!!
- Jennifer, KYO Parent
Wow, where do I start? I was asked to write a two-line testimonial in support of Kawartha Youth Orchestra (KYO). That is impossible. To summarize how Incredible KYO is and the dedicated volunteers into two lines can’t be done
