The Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies (GTCYS, pronounced git-seez) opens doors to music learning and provides a pathway for students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Our music education programs break down barriers, inspiring students to excel musically and build lifelong skills which serve them in school and beyond.
As one of the region’s premier youth arts programs, GTCYS serves more than 1,200 students ages 7-18 through our Harmony strings instruction program, Launch Lessons, Pathway Musicians program, 10 school-year orchestras, and summer camps. Rather than turning students away, GTCYS continually expands its programming to meet growing interest and community needs. Started in 2016, GTCYS’ equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives have created strong results and remain a top priority. To increase access and address socio-economic barriers, GTCYS provides nearly $200,000 in need-based scholarships for tuition and private lessons.
