The New Jersey Youth Symphony [NJYS] was founded in 1979 by a group of visionary women from the Summit (NJ) Junior League; it began as one 65-piece orchestra for area students in grades 7-12. NJYS currently provides an integrated orchestral/instrumental continuum that includes three full symphony orchestras, three string training orchestras, and two flute ensembles, supplemented by chamber music ensembles and other supporting programs, which combined, result in over 40 regular and outreach concert performances annually for diverse audiences. The instrumental students are from 80 communities representing 12 New Jersey counties, and attend weekly rehearsals during the school year at the NJYS Music Center. Since 1989, NJYS is the only youth orchestra program directly funded by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts [NJSCA], and has been the recipient of the NJSCA Citation of Excellence three times.  |
