Offering spectacular literature and awesome performances, The Classical Symphony Orchestra and The Protégé Philharmonic present the finest advanced orchestral training with the widest range of repertoire available on a once-a-week rehearsal basis in the Chicago Area and are considered one of the best youth orchestra programs in the United States!  Both orchestras are incredible opportunities for young players looking for intensive, regular orchestral experience at an extrtemely high level. 

Audition for either orchestra and experience
the  power of our orchestras!

The Protégé Philharmonic, long considered one of the top Chicago youth orchestras for talented high school and advanced junior high school students, easily holds its own with The Classical Symphony Orchestra, its college/graduate and young adult training orchestra counterpart.  If you are interested in majoring in music, "The Protégé Experience" offers an opportunity and orchestral training education that will make an extremely important difference in your future! 

Rehearsals are open to the public in Classical Symphony Hall, and we perform in beautiful concert halls such as Preston Bradley Hall at The Chicago Cultural Center and the Auditorium in the Fine Arts Center at Northeastern Illinois University with standing-room-only audiences at all of our concerts!
