MYO Summer Performance Tour 2014

            MYO has gone on great tours around the world over the last sixteen years. We have been to Central and Eastern Europe, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and twice to China. Here are some great reasons to consider participating on the tour next year:

            Have an unforgettable, life-changing experience;
            Share your music with people of another culture;
            Earn 100 hours of community service credit;
            Experience the food and customs of the people of China;
            Learn some of the Chinese language(s);
            Travel with friends for an extended time and meet new life-long friends

            The tour is open to current 7th graders and older. We are planning a shadow tour for parents and other family members. Tour meetings will be scheduled in the fall, and updates will be posted in our weekly eNotes as plans progress. This activity may be used for community service credit toward college applications, and can be a great subject for a college application essay!

Create a Personal Fund-Raising Page for the 2014 Summer Tour to China

One of the big obstacles to developing a July performance tour is the high cost of travel. The rising cost of airfare and hotel lodging makes long-term performance travel more and more prohibitive. To address this problem, we have launched a web vehicle whereby MYO members can create their own webpage to raise funds for their personal travel on the next MYO Tour (July 2014 to China). The site can be accessed by clicking on the link below:

Some restrictions apply, so it is important that you read these and share them with your parents before creating a page. It doesn't cost anything to make your own page. You can personalize it with photos or video, and add your own descriptive text.

At the Salzburg Fountain - July 2010

For nine of the past sixteen years, MYO members have toured Hungary, (twice) Italy, Austria (three times), Spain, Greece, Czech Republic (three times), Germany, France (three times), Poland, (twice) England, Scotland, Wales, China (twice), Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. During every tour, the orchestra and choir perform before large and enthusiastic audiences. The experience of traveling and concertizing cannot be matched by any other summer activity. The depth of understanding that the youngsters receive from visiting the people and the cultures of the world is without comparison.
