Contemporary Youth Orchestra pairs up with legendary guitarist and Akron native Neil Zaza for an unforgettable night of electrifying music. Neil's electric guitar mastery alongside CYO's symphonic stylings brings a whole new sound to the audience. Two generations of NEO musicians come together to bridge different genres and build a community united by music.
Contemporary Youth Orchestra is committed to the study and performance of exclusively contemporary and new orchestral music, with a focus on introducing students to careers in the creative arts industries. CYO defines contemporary repertoire as music written in the last 100 years, and we have a distinct interest in performing new music. CYO frequently commissions new works and seeks out adventurous programming opportunities.
