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 afternoon at MS 158 in Bayside, from October to June.

This orchestra presents two formal concerts annually, the Winter Concert in Bayside; and the Spring Concert, at Lincoln Center.

It also performs charity concerts at nursing homes. In some summers, this orchestra had organized concert tours to West Coast, Europe and Asia.

Our mission is to provide the orchestral and cultural experiences to talented young music students, age 11-18, with our unique repertories of Classical, Popular, Jazz, Film, 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 young music students, who would like to taste the music from the Asia.
