Welcome to DCYOP's Passport to Summer!

Important Information

 

DCYOP’s summer intensive program is back for 2025!  Orchestral string, wind, brass, and percussions students will work with DCYOP faculty and conductors to sharpen their musical skills in both small and large ensemble settings, expand their repertoire, and create new bonds and friendships. We also offer programs for young students who have not yet started an instrument yet and want to learn more about orchestral music and explore which instrument might be right for them. Read on for more details about program dates and times, tuition and financial assistance, and how to register. If you have any questions, please contact Tim Provost, Program Manager, at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
