Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra
- Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra
The Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra (TSYO) is a high-level orchestral training programme for talented musicians aged 22 and under. TSYO alumni are found in virtually every major performing organization in Canada, and many have embarked on successful solo and chamber music careers worldwide.
Founded in 1974 by Victor Feldbrill, the TSYO has enjoyed a close partnership with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for over 30 years. The youth orchestra trains under an enthusiastic faculty of Toronto Symphony musicians, who spend countless hours throughout each season ensuring high-quality performances time and time again. The TSO and TSYO collaboration is strengthened by an annual "Side-by-Side" performance on stage at Roy Thomson Hall. Additionally, all TSYO members are encouraged to compete in our annual concerto competition. The prize of this competition is the opportunity to perform a solo with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
The TSYO's affiliation with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra ensures exciting masterclasses led by world-renowned guest artists and conductors. Guests include Midori, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Emmanuel Pahud, Richard Stolzman, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Gunther Herbig, and Sir Andrew Davis.
The youth orchestra has toured extensively within Canada and abroad. In 1999, the TSYO represented Canada at the Banff International Festival of Youth Orchestras. Other tour destinations have included the Canadian Arctic, Texas, Massachusetts, California, Japan and Europe.
