Mission
The mission of the GBYO is to inspire and nurture the talents of students, from young children through college age, through a continuum of opportunities in music - including orchestral training, the pursuit of artistic excellence, and sharing music at the highest level through public performance, including a season finale concert at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore - yielding lifelong rewards of discipline, perseverance, responsibility to a common endeavor, and a connection to great music.

“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
