Vision
SYSO supports pathways for musicians that enable them to explore their passions from elementary school through high school and beyond. Cadenza is one of those pathways—it brings musicians from different schools together around music to build new friendships, and supports those musicians as they enter middle school musical studies. Cadenza works in tandem with public school music programs in Southeast Seattle to make this important opportunity possible.
