DC Youth Symphony Orchestra
(United States)

Founded in 1960, DC Youth Symphony Orchestra Program (DCYOP) has been an integral part of the Washington, DC community fostering the musical development of more than 50.000 youth. The first youth orchestra to perform at the Kennedy Center, DCYOP has toured 20 countries, played for US presidents and diplomats, and worked with esteemed musicians such as Aaron Copland, Lorin Maazel, Mstislav Rostropovich, Marvin Hamlisch, Gustavo Dudamel, Yo-Yo Ma, and Kevin Deas. Many graduates have gone on to successful professional careers in music as members of major professional orchestras, professors at leading universities, and Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composers. Others have used their musical training to propel them to careers as leaders in politics, literature, education, and beyond. More than 600 students participate in group classes, ensemble rehearsals, and performances each semester. DCYOP seeks to make high quality ensemble music education available to all students, regardless of background, socioeconomic status, or ability.
