Youth Orchestra of the Princeton Opera Alliance (YPO) is an advanced orchestral ensemble open to instrumentalists in grades 8-12 and collegiate musicians. YPO was established in 2013 primarily to provide opportunities for young musicians to perform opera and other musical styles that were not easily accessible to students in high school. The program offers training in symphonic and operatic orchestral performance. YPO members participate in weekly rehearsals in order to establish a strong foundation in ensemble skills and also to learn about performance practices that are unique to each work being performed. YPO performs concerts of symphonic literature and collaborates with vocal artists from Princeton Opera Alliance for two opera productions each season.
