UNH Youth Symphony Orchestra - Fall 2025

The University of New Hampshire Youth Symphony Orchestra (UNH-YSO) has provided quality orchestral experiences to string students in the NH seacoast region, southern Maine, and northeastern Massachusetts since 2013. By providing quality musical instruction and high standards of rigor, the UNH-YSO seeks to help students in Grades 4-12 develop their technical capabilities and musical understanding.

Please note: UNH-YSO is a pre-admission program. Only students who have completed an audition and received an offer of placement in the program may register. All students must audition each year, including returning members. DO NOT enroll without first completing an audition. To schedule an audition, please visit the UNH-YSO website. 

Additional information including program drop off and pick up locations are sent directly from program staff.

If you have completed an audition and received an offer of placement, click the '+' on your desired registration block(s) to enroll. Review the Online Registration Instructions before enrolling for the best outcome. This includes instructions for creating a Family or Student/Individual account.

Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. If creating a student account, the account profile should be in the name of the participating student, but the email should be that of a parent/guardian. Review the Online Registration Instructions before creating a new account.

UNH has partnered with CampDoc to quicken the enrollment process. Enrollments and payments are done here through our current enrollment system, but no registration questions will be required at that time. Those will be completed through the CampDoc supplemental software. 

Within a few days of enrolling, the email address provided on the student/family account will receive an invitation or reminder email notification from “University of New Hampshire via CampDoc.” Due to very brief timelines between enrollment and the program start date, it is important that a parent/guardian respond to the CampDoc email and complete the registration questions promptly. Even if the student already has a CampDoc account, a parent/guardian will need to log into the student's account to complete any necessary questions for this program, and to review and re-sign some waivers.  

A participant’s CampDoc profile must be 100% complete before they can attend the program. 

If you need help logging into CampDoc, call the support line at 734-619-8300, option 2. 

Review our CampDoc page for more information.

The Youth Symphony Orchestra rehearsals and concert are held in the Paul Creative Arts Center (PCAC), 30 Academic Way, Durham, NH.
