Newark-Granville Youth Symphony performance
The Newark-Granville Youth Orchestras offer young musicians in Licking and surrounding counties the opportunity to learn and perform a broad range of orchestral repertoire. We are committed to inspiring cultural awareness and appreciation of music, strengthening our region’s existing school music programs. Over the past 20 seasons, hundreds of students have graduated from the NGYO program. Many have also gone on to perform in college and community orchestras receiving music scholarships. Some are even the first in their family to attend college.
