Joining MOP Youth Orchestras

All three of MOP's youth orchestras are open to any student who successfully completes the required audition.  Returning members are required to re-audition each May to allow faculty to evaluate student progress and orchestra placement.

To reserve a day/time for your youth orchestra audition, if you need assistance with the audition process, or if have any questions about our orchestras, please contact us.
