NYOI regretfully announce that they have had to cancel their tour due to the instability in Iraq.

They are looking forward to continuing their partnership with Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra in the future, and encourage everyone to stay up to date with the orchestra by connecting on Facebook and Twitter.
