Oak Ridge Youth Orchestra Auditions

The ORYAC Orchestra provides an exciting opportunity for student musicians in grades 5–12 from Oak Ridge and surrounding areas to grow their skills in a supportive, challenging environment. Two orchestras—Intermediate and Advanced—will offer tailored experiences based on playing level. Auditions will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, with rehearsals beginning in the fall. Join us in making music, building community, and inspiring the next generation of musicians!

• If your school offers orchestra, we kindly ask that you be enrolled in that program as well.

• Private lessons are encouraged to support your growth, but they are not required to participate.
