Youth Orchestra of Greater Columbus

Great performance tonight!!

Did you drive through the Holiday Lights and hear us tonight? We love these opportunities to collaborate with our friends in the arts!

Those smiling faces are why we do what we do, which happens because of your support! Why do you give?

3 cheers for Voices of the Valley Children’s Chorus Director Michelle Herring Folta!!!! What an honor to be recognized at this level, and WE know you are #1!!

Proud of one of our flute players Allie!!

Our percussionists have been having a blast going in-depth with each of the main percussion instruments the last few weeks! Today, after a timpani masterclass, they’re working on their percussion ensemble piece for YOGC’s Dec 5 concert at the trade center! Admission is free, although donations to support these amazing musicians are welcomed and encouraged! ... You’ll be able to place pre-orders for a picnic dinner to enjoy during the concert, too! #Performingarts #musicianslife #symphony #doublebass #musiceducation #conductor #percussionist #oboe #instamusician #columbusga #classicalmusician #frenchhorn #bassoon #fluteplayer #woodwinds #musicclass #violinplayer #orchestral #columbusgeorgia #phenixcity #youthorchestra #uptowncolumbus #youthmusic #theartslivehere #youthsymphony #amazingcolumbusga #wedoamazing #muscogeemoms #positivelyphenixcity #chattahoocheevalley

Matt Gates played the trumpet with YOGC as a high schooler. Thirteen years later, this is how he remembers his first rehearsal. Our programs have a profound impact on the musicians we serve.

These amazing musicians are absolute champs!! They’ve made amazing progress in just three weeks and are so excited to be back in rehearsals! Our musicians are 6-9’ apart and masked at all times during our rehearsals. We take each child’s temperature and have a short symptoms questionnaire they have to pass before being admitted into rehearsal. We can’t thank Columbus, Georgia Convention & Trade Center enough for their partnership this semester ... #Performingarts #musicianslife #symphony #doublebass #musiceducation #conductor #percussionist #oboe #instamusician #columbusga #classicalmusician #frenchhorn #bassoon #fluteplayer #woodwinds #musicclass #violinplayer #orchestral #columbusgeorgia #phenixcity #youthorchestra #uptowncolumbus #youthmusic #theartslivehere #youthsymphony #amazingcolumbusga #wedoamazing #muscogeemoms #positivelyphenixcity #chattahoocheevalley See more
