The Youth Orchestra, CYCNY was founded in 1996, and incorporated in 1997 as a non-profit organization. It is a Queens based youth orchestra.  The orchestra auditions new members each year in September; meets for rehearsal on each Saturday from 1-4 PM at MS 158 in Bayside from October to June under the Beacon Program; presents 2 formal  concerts annually in December and May; performs communiy service at nursing homes; conduct concert tours to West Coast, Europe and Asia.Our mission is to provide the orchestral  and cultural experiences to talented and serious young music students age 11-21,  with our unique repertories of Classical, Popular, Jazz, Fiilm, Broadway and Asian Music. Many of our members are new immigrants, they are eager to learn the music in the US.  And some American-born 2nd generation would like to know the music of their Asian heritage.
