The Selangor Symphony Youth Orchestra (SSYO) is known as one of the premiere youth orchestras in Malaysia. At the SSYO, we provide an atmosphere where artistic talents and technical skills can flourish, encouraging young people to gain an understanding of the value of music in their lives, regardless of the career path participants choose to pursue. SSYO was set up in 2017 and was formerly known as the Eugene Pook Orchestra Academy (EPOA). In 2021 EPOA was renamed to SSYO with the aim to have close affiliation with the Selangor Symphony Orchestra (SSO).
The SSYO is composed of talented young musicians aged 26 and under, each year SSO guest soloists and conductors lead workshops for SSYO members, and the SSYO performs annually with the SSO in a Side-by-Side concert at prestigious concert halls.
We welcome any players who play the string and wind instruments to join us. The SSYO rehearses at its own orchestra studio on every Saturday in Oasis Village in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya from
3pm - 5:30pm.
