Thank you for your interest in the Halton Mississauga Youth Orchestra.

Acceptance is by audition and the strength of our reputation attracts players from Mississauga,Burlington, Oakville,the GTA and beyond.

Auditions are held at the end of May each year.  Individual auditions may be arranged during the season at the discretion of the music director.

Acceptance depends on the instrument played and the needs of the HMYO in any given year.

• The HMYO is a large organization and currently has two different groups which can accommodate string players – at almost any level of skill and experience.  Acceptance of brass, woodwind and percussion musicians depends on available positions and the playing level of the candidates.  It is important to understand that the musical structure of orchestras usually requires only 3-4 of each instrument and auditions for these positions (especially flute and clarinet positions) can be very competitive.

The Halton Mississauga Youth Orchestra relies on volunteer leadership to fulfill its mission. All parents are required to complete a volunteer form, identify areas of interest and expertise to assist iin the  operation of the HMYO.
