The Asheville-Buncombe Youth Orchestra was
formed in 1985. It serves more than five
counties in Western North Carolina and includes
public, private and home-schooled students.
Over sixty students playing string, woodwind,
brass and percussion instruments practice
weekly during the school year and showcase
their talents in four annual performances.
Since its inception, the orchestra has graduated
more than a thousand students many of whom
have gone on to study in major conservatories
and universities. Dozens have pursued professional
careers.
Ron Clearfield, accomplished cellist, composer
and conductor has been its Music Director
since 1994. Mr. Clearfield is also the Music
Director of the Blue Ridge Orchestra and
was recently appointed Music Director for
the Asheville division of the Symphony for
United Nations.
All concerts are free and open to the public.
Please join us in supporting these wonderfully
talented young people.
