Welcome to YRYO
From childhood, your children are given the opportunity to play as an orchestra member, and the most distinctive benefit is that they are given the opportunity to perform on the orchestra stage with adult professional performers.
To this end, they learn, practice, and prepare for orchestra performance in the first and second half of the year through continuous orchestra classes throughout the year.
When they enter a music college, they begin to experience the orchestra from then on, which is quite different from the students who have already prepared since they were young.
However, it is not easy to gain youth orchestra experience in Ontario, Canada.
We were founded with the aim of delivering rich experience, expertise, and knowledge to many young people learning music.
Our Maestry & Directors
Meet the guiding force behind the scenes, York Region Youth Orchestra's instructors. A masterful instructor nurtures the budding talents within our youth orchestra. Their expertise and commitment create an atmosphere where each note is a step towards musical excellence.
Together with Matheus Coelho, they inspire our young musicians to reach new heights.
Join us in celebrating the musical prowess of conductor and the mentorship of instructors as they lead our youth orchestra to soaring crescendos and harmonious triumphs!
MATHEUS COELHO Matheus Coelho, a Brazilian conductor and doctoral student at the University of Toronto, possesses a deep passion for music and a versatile talent influenced by classical and Brazilian popular music.
Having earned his Master of Music degree from the University of Manitoba under the guidance of Naomi Woo, Coelho's career spans symphonic, choral, and operatic performances. He honed his skills at the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra Academy of Music (OSESP), studying under the renowned Marin Alsop and performing alongside esteemed conductors.
Coelho's contributions extend beyond conducting; he founded and directed the Experimental Camerata of Campinas, a platform for classical and popular music exploration. He has also served as an assistant conductor for orchestras like the UNICAMP Symphony Orchestra and the University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra.
Deeply connected to the vocal realm,
Coelho has performed operatic roles and staged operas, showcasing his versatility. His doctoral research at the University of Toronto focuses on the works of Brazilian composers Chiquinha Gonzaga and Heitor Villa-Lobos, exploring the intersection of musical and social themes in their compositions.
Matheus Coelho's journey is marked by his commitment to musical excellence and exploration, evident in his participation in masterclasses, fellowships, competitions, and award recognitions throughout his career.
