The Oswego Community Youth Orchestra seeks to challenge and nurture young area musicians to strive for excellence, to explore their role in humanity and to contribute beauty to the community, through the study and performance of orchestral music.

OCYO is conducted by Juan Francisco La Manna, orchestra director at the State University of New York at Oswego, artistic director and conductor of Oswego Opera, and conductor of the Oswego Youth Orchestra.

Prior to his appointment at SUNY, Dr. La Manna was conductor for the State Ballet of Missouri, where he directed the St. Louis and Kansas City symphonies; he was also music director of the Northland Symphony and the Lawrence Chamber Orchestra.

The Oswego Community Youth Orchestra thanks the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau for its support and local area businesses.

Special thanks to the Fulton Board of Education and the Music Department at SUNY Oswego for letting us perform in their beautiful halls, and to the string teachers of the Oswego and Fulton school districts.
