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. Established in 1972, GTCYS is one of the region’s premier youth arts programs, serving more than 1,200 students ages 7-18 through our Harmony strings instruction program, Launch Lessons, 10 school-year orchestras, and summer camps. To increase access, GTCYS awards nearly $200,000 in need-based scholarships for tuition and private lessons. Students share their talents through 25 free performances at Twin Cities schools, homeless shelters, and senior care centers, plus formal ticketed concerts at professional venues like Orchestra Hall. In total, GTCYS reaches more than 17,000 children and adults through our educational activities and performances each year and has served more than 16,000 alumni in its 50-year history.
