Join the Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestras (NMYO) for its fifth annual summer music program the week of July 21 – 25, 2025 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 124 River Rd, in Topsfield, MA.
NMYO’s Symphonic Summer Sessions includes a combination of small and large ensembles, jazz, pops, fiddling, traditional & concert band, symphonic works, and lots more! Youth musicians, with at least two years of instrument study with a private teacher and the ability to read music, can register. No auditions are required! Held this year at Trinity Episcopal Church in Topsfield, musicians will play music both inside and under canopies on the wooded grounds.
· String musicians who are at the end of Suzuki Book 1 or equivalent through Book 3 meet as a small string ensemble from 9:00am - 12:00pm with fiddling workshops included.
· Advanced string players, at the Suzuki Book 4 level or higher, meet from 9:00am - 12:00pm. These musicians play in a small chamber music group and a larger string ensemble, with time for fiddling as well.
· Wind, brass and percussion musicians meet from 1:00 - 4:00pm. They play in small groups as well as with a larger Wind Ensemble. Musicians should have at least two years’ experience playing at school or with a private instructor.
“NMYO welcomes its current members and also any student musician in the area looking for an opportunity to play music with others this summer,” said Michael Coelho, NMYO’s Music Director. Led by NMYO's outstanding conducting staff and guest teaching artists, young musicians will enjoy a valuable musical experience and a fun opportunity to keep up their skills during the summer break from school.

During the academic year, NMYO offers several ensemble opportunities including two string ensembles - Prelude and Overture; two full orchestras - Intermezzo and Symphony; a Wind Ensemble for intermediate and advanced winds, brass, and percussion; and a Select Flute Choir. Small chamber music ensembles are offered as part of the Symphony program.
A non-profit organization, the mission of the Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestras, Inc. is to provide young musicians with exceptional ensemble training and opportunities for cognitive, social, and personal growth through musical performance and community service. Under the musical direction of Michael Coelho, NMYO offers ensemble experience to young musicians from 45+ North Shore, Merrimack Valley, Cape Ann, and southern New Hampshire communities. NMYO believes high-quality music education should be available to all young people and is committed to inclusion across race, gender, religion, identity and experience and celebrates the diversity that fuels a creative environment. The organization receives partial support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council as well as other businesses, foundations, and local cultural councils.
