The Edmonton Youth Orchestra, founded in 1952, is an integral part of Edmonton’s Cultural life. The Edmonton Youth Orchestra Association supports both the nationally renowned Edmonton Senior Orchestra, and the Edmonton Intermediate Orchestra. The EYO program is widely regarded as one of the finest youth orchestra programs in Canada. EYO provides the highest possible standard of orchestral training and experience to over 150 young musicians from Edmonton and Northern Alberta from age 11 to 24. Opportunities are provided for young musicians to develop their orchestral skills, to increase their knowledge and appreciation of music, and to enrich the cultural life of the community through concerts and benefit performances.
Michael Massey has been conductor of the EYO since 1977. He is Pianist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, and is widely respected as a conductor, soloist, teacher and accompanist. In 2002, for his contribution to the cultural life of Edmonton, Mr Massey was inducted into the Edmonton Cultural Hall of Fame, as an Artist Builder, and also received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal.
