Welcome to KWYO

We are Waterloo Region’s comprehensive orchestral training program, a non-profit continuing a proud legacy that began in 1966. We inspire children and youth ages 6 to 22 to grow through high-standard orchestral instruction and enriching performance experiences in a fun, supportive, and safe environment.

Prospective members join through auditions, most held in late spring. KWYO showcases young musicians’ talents and achievements in the main concerts, community performances and collaborations.
