FRYO relies on the support of the community to offer a fun, educational program that enriches students lives through music.
The Frederick Regional Youth Orchestra (FRYO) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality orchestral music opportunities for students in Frederick and the tri-state region. The orchestra is composed of students from public, private, and home-school settings who are interested in the opportunity to meet fellow dedicated musicians, and who wish to gain performance experience.
On behalf of FRYO, we express our gratitude and appreciation for the generous grant support of the Maryland State Arts Council and the Frederick Arts Council.
My favorite part of FRYO is getting together with my friends and just playing music. Everyone is always upbeat and positive, making it an altogether enjoyable experience, and I also happen to be learning about music at the same time.
Jordan Mizell, Percussion
I love the music that we play in FRYO. I enjoy almost every piece we play and I can learn a lot about different styles of music and playing.
Sophie Strachan, Clarinet
I enjoy playing in FRYO because I can share my love for music with my friends while playing with them!
