Delivering a Meaningful Ensemble Experience for Developing Young Musicians
Mission
Established in 2023 the Midland Community Orchestra-Youth (MCO-Youth) was created to provide students the opportunity to work with other musicians in the Midland area to gain additional music ensemble and performance opportunities in an encouraging and motivating environment. This is a unique supplemental program that is intended to enhance, but not replace existing school programs. The MCO-Youth hopes to enrich the lives and education of students by providing students the opportunity to improve music skills, increase self-esteem, develop pride and ensure the continuation of a community of music lovers for generations to come.

Tuition

The MCO-Youth is proud to support music education at all levels. It is highly encouraged and expected that students will participate in their school orchestra programs where they are available, in addition to the MCO-Youth. This supports the full musical development of students. MCO-Youth is a unique supplemental program that is intended to enhance, but not to replace existing school programs.
