Welcome to the San Luis Obispo Youth Symphony

 
 
Founded in 1965 by Dr. Wachtang "Botso" Korisheli, the San Luis Obispo Youth Symphony remains the only opportunity between the cities of Santa Barbara and Monterey, California, for school-age musicians to receive full orchestral training.

Staffed by conductors and coaches with extensive experience, the Youth Symphony provides an excellent environment for musicians to develop their skills through symphonic and chamber music training. The Youth Symphony also exposes children and adults throughout SLO County to classical music via small ensemble performances and collaborative educational concerts with the San Luis Obispo Symphony.

In June of 2006, the Youth Symphony voted to merge with the San Luis Obispo Symphony, a professional community orchestra committed to artistic excellence and comprehensive music education.  The Youth Symphony is now an integral part of the Symphony's extensive Music Education program reaching over 16,000 children and adults every year.
