Mission

For 75 years, San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory (SDYS) has served as a catalyst for investing in the future of thousands of young San Diegans through the study and performance of music. Through SDYS flagship ensemble program in Balboa Park, its community engagement efforts, and its early childhood music curriculum, SDYS is San Diegos most comprehensive provider of cradle through college music education programs, and is a national leader in innovative community engagement, serving thousands of young musicians and their families each year.At SDYS, we believe that music is a vehicle for giving young people the social, emotional, and academic skills that transcend traditional educational models and prepare them to enter a 21st century workforce. We respect every young person who takes part in our programs, and celebrate their accomplishments as musicians, as members of our community, and as future leaders, in San Diego and across the nation.Mission | Vision | ValuesMissionSan Diego

Activities or mission (Part I)

Instill excellence in musical achievement and personal growth through rigorous and inspiring music education experiences.

  • Balboa Park Youth Orchestra ProgramSDYS flagship Youth Orchestra program in Balboa Park offers young musicians, from beginning through pre-professional level, the opportunity to participate in outstanding music education experiences. Built on four levels of instruction in thirteen ensembles, the Prelude, Inspiration, Showcase, and Ovation programs feature weekly rehearsals and annual performance opportunities. To focus on the whole musician, SDYS extension programs also offer chamber music, concerto competitions, music theory and composition programs, individual and group lessons, student mentoring opportunities, and more.Community EngagementSDYS is committed to giving every young person across San Diego the opportunity to receive quality in-school music education. We collaborate with local schools, feeder patterns, and school districts to restore and strengthen in-school music programs and arts-rich environments. With on-site access for every student as the ultimate goal, SDYS launched the Community Opus Project in 2010 in partnership with the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD). In 2015, the success of this program resulted in a landmark $15M commitment to bringing arts teachers to every campus. SDYS is now replicating, adapting and expanding this program to new schools and districts across San Diego.Early ChildhoodSDYS supports the critical first phase of childrens growth from birth to age seven with programs that promote extended learning at home, support family bonding, and pave the way for future musical instruction and achievement. ChIMES (Childhood Introduction to Music Education, with Smiles) is the first strategic element of our educational philosophy. By encouraging ensemble-based experiences from ages 0-5, we promote stronger pro-social skills, improved speech and language development, and ensure that children from all backgrounds have access. The next program in our strategy, Music Discovery, for children ages 5-7 will pilot in 2022.International Youth Symphony MusiCampEach summer, SDYS collaborates with the International Rotary Youth Exchange to recruit talented young musicians from around the world. This one-of-a-kind collaboration brings young people together to rehearse and perform in the spirit of international cooperation. This three-week program culminates in as many as five performances across San Diego County.Advocacy, Outreach and ServiceSDYS continues to work throughout San Diego County to ensure quality access to music education, and to educate our audiences about classical music. SDYS students participate in a variety of community performances, as well as numerous events in Balboa Park, including SDYS newest community event, the Young Peoples Concert. SDYS also collaborates with multiple partners to gather and analyze data with regard to student learning and achievement through music. We partner with schools and school districts across the county to explore the effects of music on children.
