THE CHESAPEAKE YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Julien Benichou,

Welcome to the the Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra
The CYSO provides young musicians with comprehensive musical and
orchestral training for elementary through college-age students. Under the leadership of professional conductors, the CYSO's
stimulating musical environment develops excellent performers through weekly rehearsals, outstanding coaching, sectionals, workshops,
competitions, and optional national and international tours. Since its inception, the CYSO has grown to include diverse ensembles
for a variety of instruments. Thousands of young people have participated in the CYSO's exciting programs, and many alumni have
successful careers as musicians, while others have cultivated a life-long love of music! We invite you to learn more about the CYSO
and how our members grow through music.
