Orchestras

There are ten school-year orchestras ranging beginning to pre-professional levels. All of the orchestras require an audition to match students with an orchestra that meets their abilities. Auditions are held in the spring prior to the following school-year. Auditions for limited openings in the second semester are open in the winter.

The orchestras, in order of beginning to advanced, are:

Philharmonia East and Philharmonia West.

This orchestra is split between East and West locations for rehearsals and performances. These orchestras do not have any woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments.

Sinfonia East and Sinfonia West.

This orchestra includes brass, percussion, and woodwinds. The auditions are more difficult and require harder audition pieces and more scales.

Concertino East and Concertino West.

This orchestra includes brass, percussion, and woodwinds. The auditions now become more difficult and require harder audition pieces and more scales.

Camerata

This orchestra includes brass, percussion, and woodwinds. The auditions now become slightly more difficult and require harder audition pieces and more scales.

Concert Orchestra

This orchestra is the first to regularly play unedited works for orchestra.

Philharmonic

In this orchestra, students begin to tackle the more difficult works in the professional orchestral repertoire.

Symphony

GTCYS' flagship orchestra, Symphony has the most advanced set of music and players. Symphony tours internationally biennially, and studies a symphony work and performs it in its entirety.

Concerts have been performed at notable venues in the Twin Cities such as Orchestra Hall, Ted Mann Concert Hall, and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. GTCYS orchestras have also performed around the world, in such venues as the Sydney Opera House, and the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Poland. Symphony, the flagship orchestra, traveled to Spain during the summer of 2014 by invitation to the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance. In 2016, Symphony travelled to Argentina with major concerts in Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Santa Fe. In 2018, Symphony travelled to Germany, Poland, and Hungary with major concerts in Wrocław, Kraków, the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music, and Budapest. The orchestra also had the opportunity to attend a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic, participate in a workshop with Berlin Philharmonic cellist Stephan Koncz while in Germany, and visit Auschwitz. In 2022, Symphony traveled to Southern Italy, postponed from June 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Notable performances included performing as part of the opening concert for the Taormina Art Festival and in the Chiesa di Sant' Ignazio di Loyola in Rome. In 2024, Symphony will travel to Southern France and Barcelona, Spain.
