Denver Young Artists Orchestra

Denver Young Artists Orchestra

The Denver Young Artists Orchestra (DYAO) is one of the leading youth orchestras in the United States today. It was founded in 1977 by Betty Naster and Carl Topilow in Denver, Colorado. The orchestra maintains a close relationship with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Membership is by audition and is limited to musicians aged 8 to 23. Concerts take place at Boettcher Concert Hall and Gates Hall at the University of Denver's Newman Center for the Performing Arts. The current music director is Jurgen de Lemos.

The DYAO includes three ensembles: the original orchestra, known simply as DYAO, and two training ensembles, the Conservatory Orchestra and the String Ensemble[1]. Auditions take place every spring [1].

The DYAO has performed with many prominent soloists over the years, including Wendy Warner, Antonio Pompa-Baldi and Edgar Meyer[1]. In addition, the DYAO has gone on tour several times, to various regions around the world, including Europe and South America[1].

Many alumni of the DYAO go on to play as professional musicians in well-known orchestras[1].
