Founded in 2006, the Georgia Youth
Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is
comprised of gifted young men and women
from throughout Georgia ranging in age
from 7 - 18, and it is already the
largest youth orchestra program in the
southeast. The encompasses two full
orchestras, two string orchestras, two
wind ensembles, a jazz ensemble, a
percussion ensemble, a chamber music
program and two youth choruses.
The Georgia Youth Symphony Orchestra and
Chorus (GYSO&C) was founded on the idea
that students should have the
opportunity to create a lifelong
partnership with the arts. Young men and
women graduate from the GYSO&C program
not only as excellent performers
individually, but with a love and
appreciation for the arts as a whole.
GYSO&C strives to give students a
comprehensive music experience, a
philosophy that permeates all of its
activities. True artistry and passion is
created through the desire to share
one’s knowledge and gifts with others as
well as the ability to grow independent
from formal guidance.
The Cobb Symphony Orchestra
strives to ensure artistic excellence in
a diverse community that takes pride in
the Orchestra's artistic success and
feels a sense of ownership for the
Orchestra. The Cobb Symphony is further
dedicated to becoming a catalyst for
community collaborations and for
lifelong learning, using technology and
other means to broaden the musical
experience of current and future
audiences. For more information, visit
