The New York Youth Symphony is the most awarded youth program of its kind in the nation, recognized for its innovative, tuition-free educational programs for talented young musicians.  Founded in 1963 as an orchestra to showcase the metropolitan area’s most gifted musicians, ages 12-22, its activities have since grown to encompass programs in chamber music, conducting, composition, and jazz.
