Who We Are

 

SSYO is a youth organization dedicated to fostering excellence in musical arts through structured rehearsal and community performance opportunities throughout the capital region with an emphasis on developing natural musical talents and capitalizing on learning opportunities for teen musicians with a keen interest in performance in symphony orchestra, chamber, wind and/or jazz ensembles in local communities under the guidance and direction of noteworthy New York State professional musicians, conductors and performing artists.

 

SSYO was founded in the late 1990’s and has grown steadily from a small string and wind ensemble to over an 80 member organization with year round performances including gigs for local non-profits, health care organizations and community arts programs. The mission of the organization is to foster musical excellence through pedagogical and performance based musical experiences to supplement the teen musician’s experiences in school and related musical venues. We seek to provide leadership, mentoring, performance techniques and social pragmatics in  facilitating and exciting environment to foster future leaders in the arts in performance, appreciation and management positions.
