East County Youth Symphony

For many families, private music education and youth orchestra participation can be financially out of reach. ECYS was built specifically to remove those barriers. Through the generosity of donors, sponsors, volunteers, and community supporters, ECYS provides tuition-free ensemble participation so that talented students can continue their musical growth regardless of income level. This commitment allows young musicians from across San Diego County to study orchestral repertoire, rehearse in a professional setting, and perform on major stages without the burden of expensive participation fees. We believe that artistic talent exists in every community. Sometimes all a child needs is a chance.
