Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra
The Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (HPYO) recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, still operating under the baton of the orchestra's founder, Dr. Glen Allan Mallory, who has since retired. The HPYO is the "Orchestra in Residence" at Hillfield . Approximately 55 young musicians aged 9 to 44 are a part of the orchestra. For a number of years, this orchestra has used Hillfield Strathallan College's music facilities to conduct their rehearsals and also frequently as a venue for their concerts. Under Dr. Mallory's guidance, The Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra has performed in many cities, including Carnegie Hall in New York City, Rome, Ottawa, Montreal, Banff, Alabama & Northampton, England.

“The anthropologists are busy, indeed, and ready to transport us back into the savage forest where all human things ... have their beginnings; but the seed never explains the flower.”

“And my youth comes back to me.
And a verse of a Lapland song
Is haunting my memory still:
“A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.””
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””
