The Youth Orchestra of Greater Columbus (YOGC) was formed in May of 1993, by Lynn Whiddon and Charlyn Kerr, staunch supporters of arts in our community, with a mission to provide a high level of musical instruction to the youth in our area. Currently, the program serves approximately 85 young musicians from over thirty area public, private, and home schools in both Georgia and Alabama. We have students as young as 11, all the way up through their senior year in high school.
The YOGC is comprised of three different musical programs - a middle and high school Symphonic Youth Orchestra, a middle school String Orchestra, and 5 chamber ensembles. These groups perform 3 times each season, as well as performing at various events around the community. We also host an annual Whitewater Band & Orchestra Festival each February, and a Summer String Camp each June.
