Oklahoma Youth Orchestras inspires young musicians and global adventures Oklahoma Youth Orchestras provides quality music education for over 400 students across the metro. The nonprofit organization features both auditioned and non-auditioned ensembles for students of all ages and skill levels playing strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. The program also offers a summer camp for students across the state. In June 2025, the organization is planning a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Prague, Vienna and Salzburg for their flagship ensemble. Students will explore cities steeped in music history and perform in some of the world’s most renowned music halls. To offset costs for students to make the trip, OKYO has secured $20,000 in matching pledges with $10,000 already raised. The community can support students’ efforts in March by attending a Chamber Music Night, featuring performances by students.
