What to Expect for the 2020-2021 Season

We are not holding in-person rehearsals at this time in accordance with public health guidelines. Due to said guidelines and the size of our rehearsal facilities, we anticipate that ensemble sizes will be considerably smaller this season when we are able to resume in-person rehearsals. Consequently, we will be unable to accept as many students into the Academic Year Orchestra Program as we have in the past.

Ensemble sizes may change in accordance with public health guidelines.

Founded in 1942, Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra is the largest youth orchestra training program in the United States.
