Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, ECYS will expand our Endangered Instruments Program (EIP). EIP was established to offer low-income students affordable, high-quality music education while proactively meeting the need for youth musicians who play French horn, viola, & double bass. By awarding need-based scholarships, EIP reaches students whose schools offer little to no music education; students take weekly lessons and have free access to their ‘endangered’ instrument of choice.
Organization Summary
Educating more than 350 K-12 students per year, GSYO programs include:
Ensemble Performance: 6 ensembles rehearse weekly and perform regularly.
Sectional Coaching: To ensure a high quality of instruction, specialists coach each section of the Orchestra to help our students further their playing technique.
Summer camps & Conservatory: GSYO sponsors summer camps and retreats in Chamber Music and Orchestral Playing for all levels of students.
Touring: GSYO offers bi-annual opportunities for our young musicians to travel and perform concerts internationally.
Community Engagement: GSYO continually develops partnerships with programs that share our goals of providing high quality music education, fostering youth development and leadership opportunities.
