Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles (PSYE) is one of the largest pre-professional musical training programs in the nation, nurturing and inspiring young musicians in grades 6 through 12. PSYE provides members with advanced and innovative artistic experiences, fostering musical development, personal growth and lifelong learning through the art of classical performance.
The PSYE program is comprised of four performing ensembles (Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble, Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings and Pacific Symphony Youth Concert Band), all of which are united by the artistic vision of Pacific Symphony Music Director Carl St.Clair.
Representing over 36 schools in the Southern California region, Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings (PSSS) has become a regionally and nationally recognized youth string orchestra. PSSS provides an experience that nurtures the confidence, poise, and musical sensitivity of young musicians through the study and performance of outstanding string orchestra literature. PSSS serves instrumentalists in grades 6 through 9 and is one of four youth ensembles offered by Pacific Symphony’s Youth Ensembles program. Each season, students enjoy interactions with Maestro Carl St.Clair, guest artists and composers, and professional musicians of Pacific Symphony.
