Metropolitan Youth Orchestra

Metropolitan Youth Orchestra MYO is a youth and family development program of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. This page is managed by the Learning Community of the ISO.

The program is designed to use the life skills learned in music instruction to engage youth in activities that discourage at-risk behaviors and keep them committed to staying in school.

Many schools/after school activities have been canceled under a Marion county travel watch, we have also decided that all MYO lessons and rehearsals will be canceled for today, January 27, 2026. We are hoping to resume regularly scheduled lessons tomorrow.

No lessons today! We will continue to monitor road conditions and will send an update tomorrow morning for Tuesday rehearsals. Happy practicing!

Due to the winter weather forecast and potential unsafe travel conditions, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend’s concert. No lessons or rehearsals will take place this weekend.

📅 New Dates:
• Saturday, Feb 7 – Dress Rehearsal
• Sunday, Feb 8 – Concert Day

We’re definitely bummed to postpone, but keeping our students, families, and audience safe always comes first.

The Hilbert Circle Theatre Box Office will contact all ticket holders, and we’ll share updated flyers and schedules early next week.

Thank you for your flexibility and support—and students, please keep practicing!

Our ISO musicians are an integral part of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra as teachers 🫶

"The more I work with MYO I see how far-reaching the program is. Graduates remain connected to the support system that MYO provides, and many of the teachers are graduates of MYO. It’s really a family. The low-cost music lessons and the regularity of the program in the kids’ and their parents’ lives provides stability and meaning—a far cry from the toxicity of social media and isolation that today’s kids face." - Jennifer Farquhar
