The San Jose Youth Symphony (SJYS) is a non-profit youth orchestra located in San Jose, California.[1]
SJYS was founded in 1951. It was originally part of the San Jose Symphony as the San Jose Symphony Youth Orchestra (SJSYO). However, in 2002, when the San Jose Symphony was going through financial problems, SJSYO separated itself from the San Jose Symphony and became the San Jose Youth Symphony.[2]
SJYS consists of two full symphony orchestras (the Philharmonic and Concert Orchestras), a Chamber Orchestra, two preparatory string ensembles (the Intermezzo and Prelude String Ensembles), and five other instrumental ensembles (the Avant and Avance Flute choirs, the Percussion Ensemble, the Concert Wind Ensemble, and the Harp Ensemble).
SJYS has received the Ambassador's Award for Cultural Diplomacy for its performances in Poland[3] as well as letters of commendations from both the City of San Jose and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As a non-profit organization, the San Jose Youth Symphony is supported by the Silicon Valley Arts Council, the City of San Jose,[4] the San Jose Symphony Foundation,[5] the Steinway Society, and various other foundations and corporations.[6]
