Bridges Program

Now in its second year, the Bridges Program provides string instruments, twice-weekly small-group lessons, and a weekend orchestra experience for children in Baltimore City. Visit the Bridges Program page to read more–and to watch a video–about this exciting new program.

Now in their thirtieth season, the Greater Baltimore Youth Orchestras provide student musicians with a thorough classical music and orchestral education while offering audiences concerts of music ranging from well-loved symphonies to cutting edge contemporary works. Three ensembles comprise the GBYO, the full-sized symphonic Youth Orchestra, the intermediate-level Concert Strings, and the beginning-level Sinfonia—and a new BRIDGES program offers beginning instruction to underserved youth in the city. The GBYO ensembles are in residence at Loyola College in Maryland.
