About This Cause
The Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras serve Colorado’s finest young musicians from beautiful Boulder and beyond. More than 130 GBYO musicians, ages 6-21, experience playing works of master composers in a challenging and rewarding setting. GBYO includes three orchestras and a Wind Ensemble, and highlights each season include a concerto competition, chamber music, and collaborations with amazing individuals and organizations like the Boulder Philharmonic. Artistic Director Emily Bowman leads a dynamic team of conductors, educators, and mentors. The Sinfonia, GBYO’s youngest ensemble, is conducted by Paul Rowinski and is often the first orchestra experience for students. Ms. Bowman conducts the Philharmonic, a full orchestra of about 50 musicians. Dr. Erik Johnson, professor of music education at Colorado State University, conducts the Wind Ensemble. GBYO’s most advanced orchestra, the Symphony, is led by Andres Lopera, Assistant Conductor of the Colorado Symphony. Coupled with our outstanding mentorship program, which pairs students with professional musicians and exceptional music students, GBYO offers unparalleled programs for young musicians. GBYO students work with world-class guests, from Mongolian virtuoso Ariunbold Mijiddorj, to Pulitzer finalist Carter Pann, to Boulder High School student composer Leigha Amick. Over the years, more than half of GBYO graduates have continued to study music in college. Alumni have returned to GBYO as mentors, and it fills us with pride to encounter them in the professional music community as members of orchestras like the Boulder Philharmonic. www.GreaterBoulderYO.org
