The Santa Cruz County Youth Symphony (SCCYS) began in 1965 as a summer music program and officially became a youth orchestra in 1966. The Youth Symphony serves young musicians of Santa Cruz County (pop. 275,000), providing the area’s only training orchestra of pre-professional caliber. Under the direction of Nathaniel Berman, the Youth Symphony performs a variety of music from the classical symphonic repertoire in original scores, as well as modern classical music, including pieces commissioned expressly for the orchestra. The Youth Symphony consistently achieves high standards of musical excellence, while providing an educational and entertaining experience for performers and audiences alike.
