The Valley Youth Orchestra is a board-run, 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing a Colorado youth orchestra to the Western Slope. The mission is to provide young string musicians the opportunity to experience the joys and challenges of orchestral rehearsals and performances in a nurturing environment. In addition, we strive to provide small ensembles for community nursing and assisted living homes as well as performing at local schools through our Strings in School Program and at various service organization gatherings.
