Bay Area Youth Symphony’s 2013-2014 Season

The mission of Bay Area Youth Symphony (“BAYS”) is to enrich the musical education of talented young artists by providing them the opportunity to perform with their peers in a high level musical ensemble environment.

Our ambition is to provide the students of our communities a unique opportunity to reinforce and build upon their school musical curriculum while gaining the benefits of involvement in a youth organization. We strive to foster musical excellence in our students through a friendly environment that provides fertile ground for their appreciation and love for music to blossom.

BAYS is a 501(c) non-profit corporation in which the members are the parents, while the young musicians themselves are enrolled as students. If your young musician is not already a BAYS student, we welcome him or her to audition.
