Claflin Hill Youth Symphony is an accessible, high quality music education program that features two String Orchestras and Wind Ensemble. This new program is being reinvented by CHYS alumni who want to pay their experience with Claflin Hill forward to the next generation of musicians. Students will receive a well-rounded ensemble experience with opportunities to perform in a higher level ensemble, perform chamber music, work together with students across many different schools, and play alongside professional musicians in the Claflin Hill Symphony. Additionally, there will be opportunities for older students to mentor younger students and help them foster their love for music. As band and orchestra directors in our own school programs, we understand the value of programs like CHYS and how they are a great addition to a student’s in-school music education experience. We value connection with families, community, and local music educators to give our students a fulfilling music experience.
