Program Overview
In order to provide local music students the opportunity to experience playing in a full orchestra ensemble, the NSO partners with the Portland-based Oregon Pro Arte Youth Chamber Orchestra. OPAYCO is conducted by NSO violinist Cindy Petty. Local students are invited to become guest-members of OPAYCO for two spring performances at the Newport Performing Arts Center.
This program includes two rehearsals for local students with Ms. Petty, a dress rehearsal with OPAYCO members, a daytime performance for Lincoln County students, and an evening public performance. Intermediate and advanced students are invited to apply to participate.
This program has been made possible by grants from the Lincoln County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Community Foundation, the generous support of program sponsor Coast Graphics Media, and a partnership with Lincoln County School District.
