Powerful Music Making

Chicago Orchestral Academy

Welcome to the Chicago Orchestral Academy (“COA”). 
We hope you ​find this website about our Chicago youth orchestras interesting and informative!

 
 Formerly known as The Classical Symphony Orchestra and The Protégé Philharmonic,
we decided it was time to update our brand to better resonate with the youth of Chicago
and open more doors for our organization.  Classical Symphony Orchestra and
Protégé Philharmonic are now under the official umbrella name, Chicago Orchestral Academy.
 
COA’s sole mission is to educate young talented and serious youth musicians to be
outstanding orchestra players.  The skills required to be a good orchestra player transcend into
every facet of being a well-trained musician, while directing their future paths.  
 
Recognizing the importance of a good orchestral foundation,
Joseph Glymph, Music Director, believes in helping his students shape their own potential,
supported by great mentorship, expertise, and thoughtful guidance.  
Maestro Glymph has an extensive background in teaching orchestras at several universities in the Chicago area.
 
THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR WEBSITE!
