Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestras – CYSO provides access to musical understanding, fostering social growth, self-esteem, and a lifelong love of music for all aspiring musicians.

About Us

At CYSO, we believe that family comes first, music makes community, and motivated kids do their best when they aren’t stressed out. We believe that youth orchestras should really cater to youth: our age limit is 19 or younger, and all students are enrolled in local K-12 schools or are homeschool students.

"The CYSO has played a critical role in ensuring that music is available to our youth. We are proud to have the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestras working to strengthen the arts through music."

"I look forward to my son having the opportunity to be a member of the Colorado Youth Symphony in the future."

"CYSO encourages kids to develop their talents and sense of identity."
