HCYO

The High School Gifted and Talented Orchestra has been renamed the Howard County Youth Orchestra. The orchestra got their start as the Howard Regional Youth Orchestra over a quarter century ago.  One of Maryland's premier youth orchestras, the HCYO has performed at New York's Carnegie Hall, Washington, DC's Kennedy Center, The Midwest Clinic in Chicago, and Baltimore's Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. In 2019, we shared the stage with TwoSet Violin for two incredible concerts and in 2022, we had the distinct pleasure of performing with Time for Three.

Our next concert will be on May 17, 2025 and will feature the music of Ruth Gipps, Michael Gandolfi, and our concerto competition winner, Lydia You performing the Mozart C Major Oboe Concerto! This concert is at the Jim Rouse Theatre in Columbia, MD at 2pm. There are no tickets required for this concert.

On May 18th, we will be joining Ben Folds at Merriweather Post Pavilion for an incredible evening. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.
