Howard Regional Youth Orchestra has been selected to perform at the Eastern Division Conference of MENC: The National Association for Music Education.
Groups from throughout the East auditioned first at State level; nearly 100 groups were endorsed by their state and in turn screened MENC’s Eastern Division Committee. The Howard Regional Youth Orchestra is one of 31 groups selected by the committee to perform at the conference.
H.R.Y.O. is conducted by Kathryn Cammarata, a string specialist and orchestra director in Howard County Public Schools Maryland. Seeing a need for an allstate experience year round, Ms. Cammarata founded the orchestra in 1998 for the best high school students in the area.
