The Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras (GBYO) are based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, and serve about 240 students from some 30 surrounding towns, including Fairfield, Trumbull, Monroe, Stratford, Westport, Milford, and numerous others. Founded in 1961, GBYO has a reputation as one of the finest youth orchestras in the region. It was led for more than 25 years by Robert Genualdi.

The current Music Director and Principal Orchestra Conductor is Christopher Hisey.
