About us
Founded in 1958, the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras' (BYSO) mission is to encourage musical excellence in a professional and supportive environment by providing the highest-quality orchestra training and performance opportunities to qualified musicians, grades K–12, while making its programs accessible to under-served communities through financial assistance and outreach. BYSO has evolved from a single orchestra to one of Boston’s most prestigious arts organizations, with a programmatic scope that includes three full symphonic orchestras, a string training orchestra, six chamber orchestras, a preparatory wind ensemble, a chamber music program, and a nationally recognized string training program that provides rigorous instruction to students from underrepresented communities. Each year BYSO auditions nearly 750 students from throughout New England, ages 7–18, and accepts approximately 450 young musicians. This opportunity offers the highest quality coaching and 20 performances in some of Boston’s finest venues. Every other year, the organization’s most advanced ensemble (BYS) concludes the season with an international tour. BYSO has served thousands of young musicians as one of the largest and most comprehensive youth orchestras in the United State and today is recognized nationally as a model music and arts education organization. With a vision to educate young people from all demographics, BYSO holds excellence in music education at the heart of all of its activities.

We are proud recipients of these funds which have helped create the BYSO Youth Center for Music! Our partners at Mass Cultural Council are true champions of our work to bring the brilliance of classical music and the gift of human connection to young people throughout the Commonwealth!
Congratulations to the 88 cultural organizations receiving grants for facility projects! “Massachusetts is a state with a rich history, and our cities and towns are full of stories that deserve to be shared,” said Lt. Governor Driscoll. “This $6.1 million investment from the #CulturalFacilities Fund supports the spaces that allow our communities to share those stories, and it allows us to support our cultural and creative economy by creating jobs and bolstering tourism. We are proud to support this work and look forward to seeing the results of these grants at work across the state.” #PowerOfCulture #mapoli MassDevelopment

We had such an outstanding day welcoming so many of you to our new home, the BYSO Youth Center for Music, on May 11th! Hundreds of people were able to see the space, attend tours from our Student Ambassadors, and experience performances from our talented students. The BYSO Youth Center for Music advances a vision for excellence, equity, and inspiration. This new center provides unfettered access to music-making at the highest level for all of Boston’s children, now and for generations to come. Through our new rehearsal, educational, and community spaces, BYSO will encourage musical curiosity and growth in our students. We extend gratitude to our event sponsors, KPMG and Ernst and Young LLP! We are truly thankful for their partnership on this monumental day for BYSO and our community. BYSO is finally home!

Thank you Sasaki for your incredible work on this project...You breathed new life into this building while also respecting its history. We are so excited to make music within these walls!
Sasaki's renovation for the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras turns the I. M. Pei-designed Christian Science Plaza Sunday school into a new home for the BYSO, a nonprofit youth orchestra ensemble. The project ribbon cutting took place this week, giving BYSO musicians a dedicated home for the first time in 65 years. “This new, stunning home for the BYSO will foster musicianship, leadership, and relationships that will last a lifetime for our students—right across the street from one of the world’s best orchestras. Congratulations to the BYSO and all the community members who helped make this possible,” said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. Learn more below!
