A fantastic group of musicians, poets, and artists
are coming together in support of one of the finest non-profit
music programs in our region!
The goal of GNOYO is to provide every willing
young person in our area access to a quality and comprehensive
orchestral program that is exciting, challenging, and rewarding.
Now in it's 20th season, the award winning
organization has grown to become a program that truly shows
results and makes a difference in the lives of young musicians.
Every ticket purchased is a tax deductible donation

alleviating the costs of musical instruments and private lessons,
and the operational expenses that keep this great program going.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
