The Stratford Symphony Youth Orchestra, formed in 2021 by conductor Éric Charbonneau under the umbrella of the Stratford Symphony Orchestra is a place for young musicians to play with their peers and develop their ensemble playing skills.

The ensemble is seeking all orchestral instruments (strings, woodwind, brass and percussion) to add to its current roster. The SSYO welcomes students of all ages from Stratford and surrounding areas who have two or more years of experience playing their instrument.

Members of the orchestra will benefit from coachings from professional musicians as well as being part of an actively growing ensemble.

Under the wing of the SSO – the Youth Orchestra will have opportunities for observing SSO rehearsals, and, eventually, participating in joint performances.
