The California Youth Symphony is proud to present our 59th season. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about upcoming concerts, our orchestras, and the other exciting programs available for Bay Area young musicians.
The mission of the California Youth Symphony is to provide talented young musicians of high school age and younger with the finest musical experience, and the opportunity for personal growth through the rehearsal and performance of symphonic music, as well as to offer the community outstanding musical performances.
Summer Rehearsals and Music Camps
In preparation for the 2010-2011 season, many of our musicians will be taking part in summer rehearsals and music camps. These extended year programs offer our students a preview of the music they will be performing during the year, as well as the opportunity to work in small groups with sectional coaches.
Foothill Arts Alliance
The California Youth Symphony is pleased to be part of the Foothill College Performing Arts Alliance Program. Through this program, our students receive college credit for their participation in our music education, and our organization receives a stipend per registered student, which goes toward funding our many programs.
Starting this year, the Foothill College Performing Arts Alliance is requiring that every new student over 13 years old must enroll through the CCCApply.org online registration system.
