Auditions for Oakland Youth Orchestras' (OYO) 52nd season will be held this spring on weekends in early May 2026 at Oakland University. Online scheduling is available now at oyomi.org/join-oyo/auditions/.

For over 50 years, OYO has provided students of all ages with an inspiring music education and exploration in a supportive environment. OYO's four orchestras offer enriching experiences for those just beginning their musical journey and those intent on pursuing a career in music.

  • Philharmonia: Advanced Intermediate; Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion; Generally, grades 6-12
  • Symphony: Advanced; Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion; High school musicians
In addition to an enriching orchestra experience, students have the opportunity to participate in a number of additional activities, developing a breadth to their musical journey.
  • Chamber Ensembles: Students play in small groups, developing independence, confidence and teamwork. Open to all students in all orchestras.
  • Community Outreach: Students are offered further performance opportunities as soloists or small ensembles throughout the area.
  • Solo and Concerto Competition: Students have the opportunity to compete each spring for prizes and the honor of performing for audiences in the following season.
  • Merit Scholarships: Up to 12 students receive awards each season to be applied toward their music education - i.e. lessons, instrument upgrades, music camps, etc.
Once auditions are completed, students are place in the orchestra in which they can be both successful and challenged. For more information, visit oyomi.org.
