Join OYO and celebrate 50 years of educating and enriching youth through music. For this special anniversary, OYO commissioned world renowned composer, Catherine McMichael, to write a symphony. The orchestras of OYO will premiere this piece in the upcoming 2024-2025 season. 
McMichael is a Michigan resident whose music reaches across six continents, innumerable students, and professional artists. Five publishers distribute her various pieces, from flute ensembles, piano, string chamber music, symphonic, band, and concert-length choral works.
