Gemini Repertory Orchestra is designed to introduce string
students to the fundamentals of ensemble playing. Repertory Orchestra provides musicians with the foundation for a lifetime of music making and success in future Gemini orchestras. 

Gemini String Orchestra introduces students to string ensemble playing. Musicians performing at NYSSMA levels IV-VI receive intensive technical instruction and prepare for the symphonic orchestras. Literature is selected primarily from original editions, although in some cases arrangements are performed.  

Gemini Youth Symphony is a full symphonic orchestra open to the most advanced students in GYO. The Youth Symphony performs a wide variety of repertoire across a multitude of eras and styles, with particular focus on the large symphonic repertory of the 19th and 20th centuries. While NYSSMA scores are not a factor in admission to GYS, students wishing to audition should play at a Level VI/All-State equivalent.
