Introducing
​ MUSIC DIRECTOR JESSICA MOREL

The Board and staff of the GPYO are thrilled to welcome Dr. Jessica Morel to our community as our next Music Director. She brings passion, energy, and experience that we know will engage our musicians,  families and audiences. 

She comes to GPYO after two seasons leading the Youth Philharmonic of the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestras Program and three seasons as the Music Director of the Winston-Salem Symphony Youth Orchestras Program, which saw significant growth under her leadership. We are eager for our members to begin rehearsals and live performances under Dr. Morel’s baton.

Dr. Morel’s addition to the GPYO artistic staff marks an exciting return of live performing arts for young musicians in the Princeton region, especially in conjunction with the exciting opportunities we are developing for our ensembles.
