In 1999 a second group was added—the Youth Concert Orchestra (YCO), a preparatory ensemble geared toward developing technical and performance skills. While YCO members often work toward becoming members of the YSO, the Youth Concert Orchestra has itself become an esteemed performing ensemble.
The YCO is conducted by Dustin Budish, who is also the principal violist in the Reno Phil and a Reno Phil Youth Orchestra alum.
