Lowell Youth Orchestra
The LYO is the premiere orchestra of the UMass Lowell String Project. This ensemble is composed almost exclusively of high school students, presents performances in the community (recent engagements in Lowell, MA include The Nesmith House, UTEC, and the Tsongas Arena in support of Meryl Streep's visit to UMass Lowell), works with guest artists, commissions original compositions and arrangements, and performs full-length masterworks from the last 400 years.
