Since its inception in 1952, the California Youth Symphony has strived to create the future music citizens of the world through our world class music programs. Whether alumni go on to have careers in music or other professions, it is our goal to nurture and foster a deep and lasting appreciation and love for music that will stay with them throughout their lives. It is our pleasure to offer here our Alumni Profile section, where we spotlight our alumni and have them share their achievements and experiences as well as their reminiscences about their years as part of the CYS family.
Alumni can support the organization in many ways including organizing fundraising events, volunteering in the office, sharing information to friends about concerts, attending concerts, and making donations. Please contact the CYS Office via email or phone at 650-325-6666 if you would like to become involved in any way!
