Description
The Wairarapa Youth Orchestra (WYO) is a community-based orchestra for young musicians aged 7 to 18 in the Wairarapa region. We aim to provide a fun and supportive environment for our members to learn, play, and perform orchestral music.
The Wairarapa Youth Orchestra is a non-auditioning orchestra that is open to all tamariki and rangitahi in the Wairarapa who play an orchestral instrument and have some experience. There is no fee to join the orchestra. We rehearse every Monday afternoon at the Kuranui College Auditorium, Greytown where we prepare a variety of musical pieces for our concerts and fundraising events.
WYO also offers scholarships to help students learn to play orchestral instruments and enable them to join the orchestra once they have mastered the basics and gained confidence with their instrument. All scholarships include weekly lessons and loan of an instrument. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please contact us for more information.
Can you help?
We have compiled a list of community orchestras and orchestral groups across Aotearoa New Zealand. While we believe this list to be comprehensive, we understand there may be omissions. If your orchestra is missing, please let us know. We strive for accuracy but mistakes can happen. Please share any corrections or additional information you have about your group.
