Youth Symphony of Kansas City
Explore Our Ensembles
The Youth Symphony of Kansas City is comprised of four large ensembles. Placement in each ensemble is based on the student’s age and playing level, determined upon their audition for our youth orchestra program. No matter the orchestra, students will have a rich educational experience that trains them as musicians as well as future patrons of the arts.
Each student must audition each year to determine their placement in the program, regardless of their placement the previous year. Through annual auditions, YSKC ensures that each student’s placement aligns with their age and playing level as they continue to grow their musicianship.
