Michigan Philharmonic Youth Orchestra
The Michigan Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) provides a unique, enriching, and exciting musical experience for young musicians, ages 8-18 with two string ensembles, a wind ensemble and full youth symphony. Under the direction of conductors Hektor Qyeti and Kevin Naeve, young musicians receive professional instruction and perform three concerts of their own each season along with a unique opportunity to do two “side-by-side” performances with the Philharmonic.
CLASSical Music Outreach
Thousands of students throughout SE Michigan have discovered classical musica through our music education programs in public school districts “meeting” the various instruments of the orchestra culminating with a concert experience all their own with the “Koncert for Kids”.

Our “Tiny Tunes” program takes youngsters on a magical, musical journey where they will discover the beauty of music in its purest form — the sounds of the symphony. Performances will be held on Saturday mornings and easily engage your kids in a musical adventure that features Philharmonic musicians and conductor Nan Washburn.
