Orchestras
The Ovation Youth Orchestra is for intermediate-level musicians and provides their first full orchestra experience.
The season begins with a three-day mountain camp focused on music and team building. Musicians develop their musical and leadership skills through weekly rehearsals, including sectionals with professional coaches, and perform in three to four community concerts each year. They also take part in a two- to three-day national tour and perform in major concerts like the Holiday Pops and Spring Spectacular at the Pikes Peak Center.
The Ovation Youth Orchestra is conducted by Dr. Alexander Magalong.
The Colorado Springs Youth Symphony is the premier full orchestra and flagship ensemble of the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association.
Musicians develop their musical and leadership skills through weekly rehearsals, including sectionals with professional coaches. Members attend a three-day summer camp and go on tour each year—traveling within Colorado and nearby states in odd-numbered years, and internationally in even-numbered years. Past international tours have included Greece, Turkey, Japan, Bulgaria, China, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, and Eastern Europe, with performances at venues such as the Sydney Opera House and the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
The Colorado Springs Youth Symphony is conducted by Gary Nicholson.
