About GTCYS:
The Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies (GTCYS) opens doors to music learning and provides a pathway for students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Using music as a vehicle with a developmental approach, our educational programs break down barriers, inspiring students to excel musically and build lifelong skills which serve them in school and beyond.
As one of the country’s leading youth orchestra programs, GTCYS typically serves more than 1,300 students ages 7-18 through year-round programs which include ten school-year orchestras, summer camps, and our Harmony strings instruction program for underrepresented youth. Rather than capping enrollment, GTCYS continually expands its programming to meet growing interest and community needs. Started in 2016, GTCYS’ equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives remain a top priority. To make our programs accessible and address socio-economic barriers, GTCYS awards more than $230,000 in tuition assistance and support for private lessons, plus scholarships for Symphony’s international tour.
GTCYS believes in bringing music to diverse audiences and, in a typical year, our students share their talents through 30 free and ticketed performances at Twin Cities schools, shelters, and senior care centers, plus formal concerts at premier venues like Orchestra Hall and The Ordway. In total, GTCYS reaches more than 17,000 children and adults through our educational programs, free community activities, concerts, and special events each year.
Celebrating its 50th Anniversary Season in 2021-22, GTCYS has served 16,000 students in its history. Alumni include leaders in every field who use the lifelong values of teamwork, discipline, and community engagement developed during their GTCYS experience. Learn more at www.gtcys.org.
