The live experience
What reaches the room
The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra (COYO) brings together roughly 100 talented young musicians from northern Ohio and nearby states for a season of concert experiences under the umbrella of the Cleveland Orchestra family. Founded in 1986, COYO serves as a key stepping stone for emerging orchestral artists, offering three subscription concerts at Severance Music Center and multiple outreach performances each season. For 2025–26, James Feddeck serves as Principal Conductor & Musical Advisor, guiding a program that showcases both veteran repertoire and fresh, student-led responses to classical masterworks.
