- Community Youth Orchestra of Southern California
-
Community Youth Orchestra of Southern California (CYOSC) was founded in 1989 in Irvine, California, USA. Each season the orchestra includes over seventy talented young musicians ages eight through twenty from throughout the Orange County area, who gather each week to develop their musical skills in ensemble performance. A coaching staff of experienced professional musicians works with students at every single rehearsal, rehearsing and performing with them side-by-side.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts education organization, CYOSC works in partnership with local music education centers to create concert and rehearsal opportunities for children from all socioeconomic backgrounds. The staff provides leadership to local high school students in earning community service credits towards their graduation requirements, while helping younger students who no longer have access to a school music program due to budget cuts.
