Founded in 2002, The Senior Kawartha Youth Orchestra (SKYO) give young musicians of the Kawartha Region ages 12- 28 the opportunity to learn symphonic music and perform in an orchestral ensemble under the artistic direction of Dr. Alexander (Al) Cannon.

The Junior Kawartha Youth Orchestra (JKYO) is available to beginner musicians or youth with limited musical experience ages 8 -14. These small ensembles will give your child the basics of music and teach them how to play an instrument of their choice. Instrument loan is included in the registration fee. The JKYO meets on Tuesday evenings.
