Orchestras

To support the diversity of talents of our students, Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra offers four orchestra levels. Each level develops and nurtures student musicians as they build their repertoire and hone their performance skills. Our orchestra programs include annual workshops and other opportunities for students to further expand on their abilities, and to continue to explore their potential.

For All Orchestras

Music Lessons and Practice

As part of their commitment as members of the VYSO, student musicians are expected to practice daily and engage in weekly private music lessons.

Volunteer Commitment

Volunteers are vital to the health and success of the VYSO, which is a non-profit community organization. We rely on the generous volunteer participation of members and their families throughout the concert season. Volunteering can be immensely rewarding—wonderful friendships are forged, and parent volunteers set a positive example for their musicians.

We ask for a 10-hour annual commitment from each family, which can be fulfilled by musicians and/or family members.
