The Austin Youth Orchestra and AYO Academy is a nonprofit organization offering string instruction to students (grades 1 – 12) in the Austin and Central Texas area. Seven separate orchestras led by exceptional conductors ensure success. The students progress through orchestra rehearsals, sectionals, clinics and performances.
The Austin Creative Alliance is funded in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Development Department's Cultural Arts Division and by grants from Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts which believes that a great nation deserves great art. The Creative Alliance also receives generous in-kind support from CreateAustin, and Time Warner Cable News. We are also grateful for the ongoing support and participation of our members and patrons.
