National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America

2013 Residency and Tour

For the initial two weeks of the program each year, NYO-USA will be based at the campus of Purchase College, State University of New York (SUNY). Located in Westchester County just north of New York City, Purchase College has outstanding rehearsal, performance, and residential facilities, including a highly regarded performing arts center that will be the center of musical activities during the residency. The residency will include sectional and full orchestral rehearsals, coaching sessions for individual instrument groups, presentations on musical and non-musical topics relating to the repertoire and tour cities, and social/recreational activities, capped by a concert at the performing arts center.
