Known for its commitment to excellence, faith, and patriotism, the program serves over 450 families through ten audition-only ensembles at American Heritage School campuses in Salt Lake City and American Fork. The Philharmonic performs the masterworks of the orchestral repertory while inspiring young musicians to “LOVE music MORE” through meaningful media, musical service, and unforgettable live performances. Its members come from schools across Utah and regularly perform with industry-leading guest artists. Most recently, the ensemble appeared at David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center with Grammy-nominated violinist Jenny Oaks Baker. Lyceum Philharmonic has reached the top of the Classical Billboard Charts on three occasions and has amassed hundreds of millions of views and streams on YouTube and Spotify. Their latest album, Counting Christmas Blessings, featuring Tony-nominated Laura Osnes, is available on all streaming platforms.

Steven Sharp Nelson of The Piano Guys said, “The Lyceum Orchestras Program is an incomparable combination of everything that music is meant to be — joy, refinement, belonging, and fun. It offers kids the kind of opportunities that make music exciting and cool. It provides an environment that isn’t blindly affixed upon purposeless perfection, but rather a more selfless pursuit of excellence. My favorite part of Lyceum is its inherent spirituality. There is a special feeling suggesting a profound development not only of the body and mind, but of the soul.”

This ensemble is open to high school aged musicians regardless of where they attend school. Auditions are held annually in May but positions are available until filled. For more information on auditioning see: https://af.americanheritageschool.org/orchestra-auditions/
