CALIFORNIA YOUTH SYMPHONY
The California Youth Symphony (CYS), founded in 1952, has earned an international reputation for the excellence of its music programs. In 1963 CYS became the first American youth orchestra to tour overseas when it accepted an invitation to visit Japan. Since then, the orchestra has mounted 23 additional tours to many parts of the world, most recently performing in Czech Republic and Hungary, and, Finland in 2018. In the summer of 2022, CYS visited Poland for the first time, having performed in the Wroclaw Academy of Music and the Philharmonic Hall. Recent performances also included a revisit to the Czech Republic and Hungary.
The California Youth Symphony’s performances in California have been equally noteworthy and well-received. Its performances have been broadcast frequently on local radio and television. Its guest artists have included such luminaries as Duke Ellington, Jack Benny, and Mary Costa, and an ever-expanding roster of rising young talent. CYS opened the first-ever Bay Area Youth Orchestra Festival at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco in 2010 with a performance that renowned critic Heuwell Tircuit described as “semi-miraculous.” In addition to the California Youth Symphony Orchestra, the organization comprises additional ensembles for younger musicians, involving nearly 400 participants from over 100 schools in northern California.
