Greater Toledo International Youth Orchestra travels to Japan for four-city tour

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – The Greater Toledo International Youth Orchestra is headed to Japan for a four-city tour.

The tour is part of the group’s mission to “bridge cultural diversity through music.” Several students from school districts throughout northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan play in the orchestra.

13 Action News caught up with the orchestra before they left on June 7.

“It’s much more modern, even than we are,” said Wesley Droll, a violin player in the orchestra. “The cultural differences between us is probably what I’m most excited for.”

The trip includes three concert performances in various cities, including Toledo’s sister city, Toyohashi.
