We plan to hold an information gathering meeting February 15 at 2pm to discuss the upcoming 2026-2027 year of classes and events, and other items of interest to the youth orchestra.

Date: February 15th

Time: 2pm

Location: Swisher Hall in Carrie Blake Park in Sequim, WA

A draft agenda is available for review.

Anyone interested in helping provide feedback, guide the program, teach students, or take on a leadership role is encouraged to attend.

Sequim Community Orchestra will be presenting their 2026 Family Concert, with pieces by Anderson, Hirsch, Schoenberg.

• Robert Hirsch - Concerto Gross
• Leroy Anderson - A Trumpeter’s Lullaby
• Claude-Michel Schoenberg - Selections from Les Miserables, arranged by Bob Lowden

Each of our children’s groups will also share some of the music and skills they have been working on.

Entrance is free. There will be a bake sale presented by the Peninsula Community Youth Orchestra to support our children’s programs.

Does your student play an instrument with their school program already? If they are thinking about switching, or have already switched to a new instrument but need practice on their new clef, Winter Term with the PCYO is a great time to try it! Our beginner class will have gotten past the “what’s a bow” stage and be into the “let’s learn this clef” stage so it’s a great time for students who know how to play an instrument but need support on a new one to join us.

This December, the Peninsula Community Youth Orchestra has organized a collection of short holiday family jams held across Clallam County taught by local musicians and private teachers playing easy beginner and intermediate holiday music. Each holiday jam will welcome up to 5 students, and coaches will invite students playing instruments they are personally familiar with, allowing family and friends to play along with beginner and intermediate string students on guitar, piano, or wind instruments as able. Any students of the appropriate age playing the appropriate instruments may sign up!
