Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestras

Program description

The Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestras (CSYO) is comprised of three ensembles: the CSYO Philharmonic, the CSYO Concert Orchestra, and the CSYO Nouveau Chamber Players. The CSYO aims to reinforce excellence in students and challenge them to expand their own boundaries through the highest level of music performance and collaboration. Ensembles rehearse weekly, perform up to five concerts per year, and receive access to the world class instructional resources of the CSO, including coaching from CSO musicians and leadership from CSO Assistant Conductor Gene Chang.

Founded in 1964 by former CSO Music Director Max Rudolf and area music educators, the CSYO is dedicated to the cultivation of talent and provides outstanding young instrumentalists the opportunity to perform repertoire not always available through their school music programs.
