New goal--because we got such great support!

Thanks to everyone who has given so far! Now we are running up to our iMAYO International Youth Orchestra Festival, rehearsing and planning for our concert on Sunday April 19 at 4:00pm in Bloomington’s  IU Auditorium. Past MAYO Music Director Thomas Loewenheim returns as our guest soloist to play the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations in a program that will also include the Dvorak New World Symphony, the Moncayo Huapango, and the winning entry in our MAYO Composition Competition, Through Doorways Between Dreams, by Christopher Renk.

On other fronts: Our Boys and Girls Club violin project is well under way, with 14 eager young violin hopefuls crowding into the program room three days a week. MAYO Jazz is taking off in a big way. We are blooming! And every donation, no matter how large or small (really!), will make a difference in the lives of young musicians and musicians-yet-to-be.

About The Musical Arts Youth Orchestra
The Musical Arts Youth Orchestra offers a full symphonic orchestra experience to young musicians in south central Indiana. MAYO also offers chamber music coaching through its Chamber Music Program and jazz combo experience through its Jazz Program.

The MAYO mission is to provide musical training to a wide array of students of all levels and backgrounds, to promote excellence while fostering individual development, and to prepare students not just as musicians but as community members.

Students of all ages, from grade school through college, are welcome to participate in MAYO programs. Financial assistance is available for any who may need it.

MAYO offers not just musical training, but exposure to new ideas, new music, and new friends. Through its iMAYO International Youth Orchestra Festival, MAYO has brought in young musicians from Hong Kong, Israel, France, Germany, and elsewhere to join forces with world-class concert artists and, of course, the musicians of the Musical Arts Youth Orchestra. MAYO is a collaborative organization, receiving exceptional support from faculty and students of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and from regional orchestra and band directors in the public schools.
