About Nova Youth Chamber Orchestra

Nova Youth Chamber Orchestra is more than an ensemble — it’s a vibrant community where children and teens grow not only as musicians, but as confident, well-rounded individuals. Under the inspiring leadership of Maestro Anton Yeretsky, our young artists cultivate discipline, teamwork, and artistry while discovering the joy of performance.

 

Every member has the chance to shine — both within the ensemble and as a featured soloist. Our musicians regularly perform in competitions and on prestigious stages, from Vienna in 2025 to our upcoming tour of Italy in 2026.

 

In 2025, Nova Youth Chamber Orchestra earned first prize at two major music festivals, gaining recognition for its exceptional artistry and distinctive ensemble style.

 

Unlike traditional youth symphony orchestras, our chamber format demands greater individual responsibility, musical independence, and active engagement from every player. In this intimate setting, every musician matters — there’s no hiding behind a large section. This structure sharpens ensemble skills, deepens listening, and accelerates personal growth.

 

The result? Students progress faster, perform with greater confidence, and acquire skills that far exceed what standard youth programs typically offer.

 

With professional mentorship from an internationally acclaimed conductor and concert violinist, rich solo opportunities, and inspiring performances — including international tours — Nova Youth Chamber Orchestra offers a truly unmatched path for young string players in the Greater Toronto Area.
