South Coast Youth Symphony Orchestra

The SCYSO is well respected and supported by local music teachers and public school directors. The orchestra further distinguishes itself by being the only ensemble with four separate rehearsal locations, enabling the SCYSO to attract and accommodate the most talented musicians in various southland communities. The SCYSO rehearses weekly in Mission Viejo, Yorba Linda, Garden Grove and Ontario. The orchestra combines monthly for workshops.
