Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra

Concert & Events

Each term at the HPYO culminates in a performance.  Our regular season concerts are held in the beautiful L.R. Wilson Hall at McMaster University.  

In addition, our Philharmonic Orchestra (senior orchestra) plays one concert a year in a side-by-side performance with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. The HPO is proud to create this opportunity for our youth musicians, who grow and learn immensely from the experience of playing beside a professional player. 

Throughout the year, we also strive to offer our players opportunities to perform in the community. Past performance opportunities have included the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Limeridge mall, in the lobby at HPO Mainstage concerts and through Community Service performances, for example, at Retirement Residences.
