Edmonton 
Events Description
Founded in 1952, the Edmonton Youth Orchestra Association supports the nationally renowned Edmonton Senior Orchestra and the Edmonton Intermediate Orchestra. It is widely regarded as one of the finest youth orchestra programs in Canada, annually providing ~150 young musicians from Edmonton and Northern Alberta the opportunity to develop their orchestral skills, increase their knowledge and appreciation of music, and to enrich the cultural life of the community through concerts and benefit performances.
Michael Massey has been conductor of the EYO since 1977. He has inspired thousands of young musicians through the Edmonton Youth Orchestra program and countless others through musical performance. In 2016, for his long service to the Province, he was awarded the Alberta Order of Excellence — the highest honour the Province of Alberta can bestow on a citizen. In 2017 he received the Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Award from the City of St. Albert’s “Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts.” In 2019 Michael became the Honorary Patron of the St. Albert Rotary Music Festival and in 2020 received the Alberta Music Education Foundation Recognition Award. In December 2022, he received his appointment to the Order of Canada, being “recognized for his consummate dedication to Alberta’s youth orchestras, and for his transformational mentorship of generations of Canadian musicians”.
