Eastern Youth Orchestra, a community orchestra for children, was started in 1970 by parents and teachers, including Professors Joanne and Charles Bath, and Mrs. JoAnn Moore.
The senior orchestra is currently conducted by Dr. Tim Nowak. A junior orchestra was formed in 2003, and is directed by Betsy Hughes. A preparatory level orchestra was added in 2005, and it is now under the nurturing direction of Ms. Laura Eis.
Over the years EYO has been a springboard for many young musicians, and has hundreds of alumni, many of whom are now teaching and performing music.
