Hernando Youth Orchestra

A no fee orchestra for children from 5 -21, Hernando Youth Orchestra provides instruments, musical scores and lessons to any student who can read music. There are no auditions for the primary orchestra. After completing a registration form online at our website, a child may simply begin to attend the weekly rehearsals held most Sundays from 3:30-5:00 at The Heather Community Center, 9100 Nakoma Way, Weeki Wachee. Several times each year, when the orchestra has mastered sufficient music Hernando Youth Orchestra performs for the community at a free concert.

HYO is supported by grants, sponsorships and donations from the public. The staff is comprised of volunteers who offer their time and experience to help these talented youngsters achieve their potential. Adult volunteers are welcome.

Music & Art Festival , January 22, 2017

Music and Art Festival in Weeki Wachee. Sunday, January 22nd.

Fun for the whole family! And it's FREE!

On the more serious side, hear the Hernando Youth Orchestra play some classical music favorites, as you enjoy the creative efforts of Hernando's best oil painters, a nature photographer who is a stringer for National Geographic, a poet known for her complex poetry, and even an award-winning winemaker.

And there's more!

On a lighter note, Florida's favorite storyteller has promised to share some of his kid-friendly tales with us, a caricaturist can create a take-home souvenir to remind you of your fun family day, and several other musicians will entertain. We may even have a drum circle!

But that's just for starters. Plan on spending the afternoon.

When: Sunday, January 22nd

1:30-5:30

Where: The Heather Community Center

9100 Nakoma Way, Weeki Wachee

Host: The Unitarian Universalist Church in the Pines

Instrument Donations For Hernando Youth Orchestra - It’s spring cleaning time again. If you’ve found a musical instrument you don’t want and you would like to donate to a worthy cause, HYO would be very appreciative. We accept most instruments (calliopes and Kazoos need not apply!) We’ll pick them up, fix them up, and put them in the hands of our young musicians. Call 352-600-9555 for pick up.

We will, of course, provide you with a tax deductible receipt. For more information, go to www.HernandoYouthOrchestra.org
