The Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance

Founded in 2003, the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance is the not-for-profit parent organization that includes The Fox Valley Philharmonic, its semi-professional adult community orchestra, and the affiliated youth orchestras and ensembles of The Fox Valley Youth Symphony Orchestras. At the academy, professional musicians and music students alike enjoy a variety of musical opportunities, learn challenging repertoire, develop new friendships, and advance to higher levels of musical excellence.

The Academy’s youth programs are designed to take each student’s musical experience to the next level by engaging the student in challenging works in a setting with other students of like ability. Students must pass an audition to gain admittance to The Academy.

Frequently, guest clinicians are invited to visit The Academy to inspire the students and offer specialized instruction and insight for each ensemble and/or section. Elements of history and theory are also blended into the study of each ensemble’s literature.
