The Celebration Youth Orchestras are proud to announce the appointment of award-winning conductor Nan Harrison Washburn as the new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor.   Having founded the CYO in 2003 as the Plymouth Symphony's long-time Music Director and Conductor, she is thrilled to be stepping out from behind the scenes to lead CYO into a new and exciting era.

The Celebration Youth Orchestras provide a unique, enriching and exciting musical experience for aspiring young players throughout Southeastern Michigan, especially in the Plymouth, Canton, Northville, Novi, Bellville, Westland and other areas of Western Wayne County. The CYO currently offers a full program of three orchestras and a flute choir, workshops and master classes with prominent guest soloists and composers and yearly side-by-side performances with the professional musicians of the Plymouth Symphony and Orchestra Canton.  CYO students attend many different local area public and private schools and homeschool.

The CYO performs two major concerts at the beautiful, new Village Theatre at Cherry Hill in Canton.  Weekly Tuesday evening rehearsals are held at the Plymouth Community Arts Council, also the new home for the Plymouth Canton Symphony Society offices.
