Guitar Youth Orchestra 2026-27

The Guitar New Mexico Youth Guitar Orchestra and Youth Guitar Ensemble are the premier musical ensembles for young classical guitarists in Central New Mexico.

The Advanced Orchestra is composed of intermediate-advanced guitarists ages 13-19, or until 45 days after high school graduation, whichever comes first. (Students 19+ or who have graduated high school may join our adult ensemble).

The Youth Ensemble is for students aged 10*-13 who have a post-beginner to intermediate proficiency on guitar. (Students under 11 must interview with the ensemble conductors before acceptance). Please contact us regarding the Youth Ensemble start dates.

Please contact GuitarNewMexico@gmail.com for specific entry requirements. Youth orchestra & ensemble have two sessions each academic year, and occasional summer performances. The fee is $175 per semester or $300 for the entire year. Tuition assistance is available.

Rehearsals: Every Wednesday, 6:30-8:00pm.
