The Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestra have announced their spring concert series, “An Afternoon of Spring Concerts,” which will be held on May 17 at the Dolan Performing Arts Center in Ipswich.
The concert will feature youth musicians from across the North Shore, including Lynn, Lynnfield, Peabody, and Saugus, who will perform both classical and modern music and works by Gustav Holst, John Williams, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and more.
Lynn’s Raquel Aguilar, Deborah Hernandez, Nathaniel Vega-Yu, and Lucas Hernandez will be performing, as well as Grant Gao and Sahana Pareek of Lynnfield, Sonja Huynh and Drew Little of Peabody, and Saugus’ Peter Bourckel.
For decades, NYMO, a nonprofit and currently the largest youth orchestra program in Northeast Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, has been providing hundreds of young musicians from more than 40 towns with an enriching musical experience. Led by Music Director Michael Coelho, NYMO also offers weekly rehearsals, master classes, enrichment days, chamber music, and also educational and community service outreach concerts in communities that are underserved.
Of their five ensembles, the May 17 show will feature their Prelude String Ensemble, Overture String Ensemble, and Intermezzo Orchestra at 2 p.m., and then the Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra at 4 p.m.
