TYP & TYJE Perform Together at Meymandi Hall
On February 9th, Triangle Youth Philharmonic and Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble came together for their second ever joint concert at Meymandi Concert Hall. Both groups performed phenomenally, and we are so excited that our two premier groups are offered the opportunity to perform in such a professional concert setting! Missed the concert? Check out both groups this May for our Spring Concert Series.
TYJE & TYJO at Essentially Ellington Festival at UNC-Chapel Hill
Lots of awards for our Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble and Triangle Youth Jazz Orchestra at UNC’s Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival!!

Chamber Updates
Our two chamber ensembles have been busy! The Triangle Youth Philharmonic String Quartet and the Triangle Youth Philharmonic Woodwind Quintet travel around the Triangle for a variety of performance opportunities.
The String Quartet recently performed pop favorites at the student-led Chamber Pops performance at the Rialto Theatre! Shoutout to TYP students Davis Baker and Owen Beal for organizing the performance, and to a variety of other TYM students for their contributions!
The String Quartet also performed prior to an NC Symphony performance as part of the Ovations pre-concert series.
The Woodwind Quintet is also hard at work, preparing for our Woodwind Wonders Sensory Friendly concert.
